NM-02: Teague Up First With TV Ad

"Values"

Harry Teague, our Dem candidate for Congress in NM-02 down South, has the first TV ad up (see above) in the general election cycle in the race against the GOP's Ed Tinsley. I think Harry does a great job in the ad directly addressing viewers in an honest, genuine way. The ad is part of a campaign that will highlight Harry's compelling life story and long record of accomplishments. The advertising will be on district-wide broadcast and cable TV, as well as English and Spanish language radio stations. 

"To tell the voters where I want to take our country, first I need to tell them where I came from," said Teague. "I started working for $1.50 an hour at the age of 17 to support my family when my father became ill and he had no health insurance. From that beginning, I created a company that employs over 250 people. I know what it is like to go without health care and no one should have to experience that – that's why I give my employees health care, free college tuition and good wages. These things I've done as a businessman are the same things I want to do for middle class families in New Mexico."

To can also view the TV ad (titled "Values") at Teague's campaign website. The full transcript of the TV ad is below.
