Democrats fold Mitt Romney into attack ads in key congressional races
In the Hawaii Senate race, Rep. Mazie Hirono (D) launched a spot Wednesday that aims to tie former governor Linda Lingle (R) to Romney by pointing to remarks the GOP Senate nominee delivered at a rally last week.
Hirono’s ad is the first Democratic TV spot across the Senate landscape directly focused on Romney. In House races, it’s already been done a couple of times. On Monday, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sought to tie Rep. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.) to the Republican presidential nominee in a TV spot.
In Rhode Island, Rep. David Cicilline (D) is taking an approach similar to Hirono’s. He released an ad that this week the begins with a clip of Republican nominee Brendan Doherty saying he thinks Romney would be “fantastic for Rhode Island.”
