WATCH: NEW DCCC AD MAKES CLEAR LEA MARQUEZ PETERSON WORKS FOR SPECIAL INTERESTS

Today, in the race for Arizona’s Second Congressional District, the DCCC announced a new television ad that makes it clear Lea Marquez Peterson is a political insider handpicked by Republican leaders who will work for corporate special interests, not Arizona families. The ad begins airing in the district today, and is the second ad from the DCCC in the race.

The ad, “Handpicked,” tells voters about Lea Marquez Peterson’s time leading a billionaire-funded campaign to prevent wage increases, highlights her backing from Republican leadership and corporate special interests, and again hammers her support for the GOP Tax Scam that is going to raise taxes and health care premiums on Arizona families.

“Lea Marquez Peterson wants voters to believe she is some type of outsider, when the reality is she’s been working for corporate special interests for years and that’s why they are bankrolling her campaign for Congress. From fighting against wage increases, to vouching for the tax scam, Lea Marquez Peterson has repeatedly put corporate special interests ahead of working families in Arizona.” – DCCC Spokesperson Jacob Peters

Script:

So who is Lea Marquez Peterson? She led the campaign – funded by out of state billionaires – to stop a minimum wage increase for Arizona families. Now she’s been handpicked by Washington Republicans… and bankrolled by corporate special interests. Marquez Peterson supported the tax scam that gives big breaks to Wall Street….But raises taxes and premiums for older Americans. Marquez Peterson works for corporate special interests – not us.
