McDonnell Airs New Ad: “Transportation Contrast”
Richmond- Bob McDonnell, Republican gubernatorial candidate and former Attorney General of Virginia, is expanding his general election television advertising today. McDonnell’s latest ad, “Transportation Contrast,” highlights the difference between McDonnell’s comprehensive transportation plan and Deeds’ lack of one.
“Transportation Contrast” will begin airing today in Northern Virginia.
In “Transportation Contrast” Bob McDonnell says:
The Washington Post says Creigh Deeds has not even bothered to formulate much of a transportation plan. On road funding Deeds’ approach is as politically expedient as it is irresponsible. Deeds’ approach to transportation funding is to sidestep the subject. Bob McDonnell’s transportation plan deserves credit for the extent and specificity of its proposals like selling state liquor stores to invest a half billion dollars to widen I-66, improve I-95 and expand metro to Dulles.
I’m Bob McDonnell, candidate for governor, and my campaign sponsored this ad.
