NM-02: Teague's Second Ad Stresses Connections With Ordinary People

Harry Teague, the Dem Congressional candidate in NM-02, is now airing his second ad district-wide on broadcast and cable TV. This ad focuses on Harry's contributions to his community and his long-time relationships with working people. His first featured Teague talking directly to the camera about his life. Both ads provide an opportunity for Harry to demonstrate who he is and what he believes in.

I think the ad spotlights Harry's natural warmth and down-home qualities, and the lines spoken by ordinary people come across as honest and heartfelt. Although it doesn't mention his GOP rival, Ed Tinsley, the ad effectively draws contrasts with Tinsley's reputation for nastiness and the fact that he's often accused of spending more time at his "second home" in the exclusive Las Campanas development in Santa Fe than he does at his property in Capitan.

Now's the time to donate to Harry Teague's campaign -- and get the added bonus of having your contribution matched dollar for dollar. I think you'll agree that we need to turn this seat BLUE -- and make sure that the extreme rightwinger Ed Tinsley doesn't get his hands on it.

Hey everybody....
Every soul who reads this blog should take out their wallet and give to Teague right now. Even $10 - we have got to do this. We cannot have Tinsley in that office. Please give to Teague - let's show him support from across the state!
