National Democrats have a new ad in the Wisconsin state Senate recalls, on the same day that voters are headed to polls for some very peculiar primaries.
Tuesday’s primaries will see the official Democratic challengers facing fake Democratic primary opponents — that is, Republican activists planted by the state GOP, in an effort to stir up trouble and delay the general elections (a delay that Republicans are already taking advantage of, with an expedited redistricting push). The polls will close at 8 p.m. CT.
The new ad from the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee features a woman with small children, who attacks state Sen. Randy Hopper. “I guess I’m like every Mom. I want to make sure that my kids get a really good education — and in this economy, it’s more important than ever,” the woman says. “So I can’t understand how Senator Hopper thinks it’s okay to cut nearly $800 million from our schools.
“Politicians like Randy Hopper always say there’s no money – but he found a way to give tax breaks to big corporations, and rich folks like himself. Randy Hopper may be in touch with the politicians in Madison, but he’s really out of touch with the folks back home.”
