McCamley begins running his first TV ad

Democratic 2nd Congressional District candidate Bill McCamley will begin airing his first TV ad Friday, a 30-second spot called “Gravy Train.”

Here it is:

“There is a special-interest gravy train in Washington, D.C. Money from big oil and drug companies comes in one door, and taxpayer giveaways go right out the other,” he says in the ad.

McCamley talks in the ad about health care and gas prices before saying that he “will not rest until things change in Washington because it is time, finally, to put the middle class ahead of the special interests.”

The ad will begin running Friday in the Albuquerque television market, which covers the entire district except Doña Ana County. The campaign touted in the news release the fact that the ad was produced by the firm Fletcher, Rowley, Chao, Riddle, which also created the TV ads for Democrat Travis Childers, who won a surprising victory in a conservative Mississippi House district on Tuesday.

“This ad not only highlights why Bill is running, it clearly shows the passion and energy that he is going to bring to the general election and to Washington in January,” McCamley campaign spokesman Mike Ward said in the release. “Voters want to see a candidate who stands up for them against the special interests, and this ad focuses on how Bill will do just that.”
