Vice President Joe Biden is now wading into this Tuesday’s special election for Kirsten Gillibrand’s former House seat, with this new radio ad for Democratic candidate Scott Murphy:
Biden plays up the issue that has become Murphy’s signature approach, support for the stimulus package: “He knows people have to work together to get things done, and he’ll work with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to get things done for Upstate New York. That’s why Scott supports our economic recovery plan, because it means 76,000 jobs for Upstate and funding for schools, which helps keep property taxes down. We have a lot of work to do, and Scott will help get it done.”
Yesterday, President Obama sent out an e-mail officially endorsing Murphy, and asking his own supporters in and around the district to help out.
