Democratic 1st Congressional District candidate Robert Pidcock is out with a harsh new TV ad attacking the primary’s frontrunner, Martin Heinrich.
Here’s the 30-second spot:
“Have you heard about the Martin Heinrich maneuver?” the ad’s narrator asks. “Going from part-time summer-camp counselor to Congress? Who is he kidding?”
“Claims he had a consulting business but didn’t know he needed a business license? Who’s he kidding?” the narrator asks.
The ad then goes on to paint Pidcock as the candidate of hard work, honesty and respect.
In the only independent polling of the race, released last weekend by the Albuquerque Journal, Heinrich was at 34 percent, Rebecca Vigil-Giron was at 23 percent, Michelle Lujan Grisham was at 10 percent and Pidcock was at 4 percent. Some 29 percent were undecided.
