RELEASE: Maggie for NH Releases TV Ad Highlighting the Governor's Bipartisan Approach to Problem Solving

Press Release

Today, Maggie for NH released a new TV ad, "Listen," highlighting Governor Hassan's bipartisan approach to problem solving, which she will take to the United States Senate to get things done for hard-working Granite Staters.

"When I listen to families across New Hampshire, all I hear is that Washington is locked into a system where the special interests come before people," said Governor Maggie Hassan. "Washington won't change overnight, but sending a new Senator who puts Granite State priorities ahead of special interests can make a difference."

Maggie Hassan has laid out her Innovate NH 2.0 economic plan, which outlines the priorities she will take to the United States Senate to build on New Hampshire's economic progress and ensure that all Granite Staters are equipped to succeed in the changing American economy. Her plan includes a $1,000 tax break for middle class families and increased support to ensure that New Hampshire small businesses can start up and grow. It also includes allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, working to get less expensive generic drugs to market more quickly, closing tax loopholes for Big Oil and outsourcers and investing in small business innovation.

This stands in sharp contrast to Kelly Ayotte's record of voting with the Koch Brothers nearly 90% of the time during her first four years in office, including protecting tax breaks for Big Oil and companies that ship jobs overseas while voting against a tax break for small businesses. Ayotte also voted against allowing Americans to get access to safe, inexpensive prescription drugs from Canada and against helping get affordable generic drugs to the market sooner -- while taking more contributions from big pharma than any other New Hampshire elected official. And Ayotte has consistently voted to undermine New Hampshire's beautiful natural resources, giving her a lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters that's even worse than Scott Brown.

The six-figure ad buy will run on New Hampshire and Boston broadcast stations, as well as on cable and online.
