The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today released its latest television advertisement targeting Congressman Michael Grimm (NY-11), who was arrested earlier this year and indicted on 20 counts, including evading taxes, wire fraud, mail fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. The ad features testimonials from Staten Island residents expressing their dissatisfaction with Congressman Grimm and his indictment. Before his 20-count federal indictment, Congressman Grimm threatened a local reporter on camera after the State of the Union Address.
The ad begins running on New York City cable Sunday.
