New Ad
Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund (DOWAF) today announced the launch of a new TV ad highlighting Martin Heinrich’s ability to lead America into a new energy future. The TV ad about New Mexico’s 1st District candidate comes after a June endorsement, followed by weeks of field campaigning from Defenders Action Fund. According to , FEC reports show that DOWAF made a new $110,000 media expenditure the other day to support Heinrich.

“Martin Heinrich represents the change in Washington that America so badly needs”, said Defenders Action Fund President Rodger Schlickeisen. “We know we can count on him to support clean energy programs that break our dependence on foreign oil. He is exactly the kind of leader America needs to tackle our nation’s 21st century energy challenges.”

“Darren White is cut from the same cloth a George Bush and Dick Cheney, having served as Bush’s reelection campaign chairman in 2004” continued Schlickeisen. “Martin Heinrich understands that we can’t keep going on a path that only leads to higher gas prices and greater energy insecurity. His election to the US Congress will be part of the beginning of a new energy era that will benefit us all.”

The TV ad will run through Election Day throughout NM-01. 

Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund is also running an aggressive field operation in support of Heinrich, and has been actively supporting Rep. Tom Udall for US Senate. In addition to multiple television and radio ads, DOWAF has an aggressive field operation that has already knocked on more than 75,000 doors.
