Meg Whitman, a Republican candidate for California Governor, released a new statewide TV ad today, saying she will “clean up the mess those politicians have made in Sacramento” by applying “conservative economic principles.”
In the ad, Whitman says “Our next governor must be tough enough to stand up to the unions and the politicians they control.”
Watch:
In response, Whitman’s primary opponent Steve Poizner released the following statement:
Meg Whitman sounds more like a status quo politician every day, making more empty promises she has no understanding of. She says she’ll cut spending, yet she’s done nothing but shatter spending records over the last year. She says she’s against amnesty, but openly admits to not even understanding the immigration issue. California needs a new, bold reformer like Steve Poizner, not more broken promises from a rookie trying to buy the Republican nomination with $100 million.
The TPM Poll Average shows Whitman leading Poizner 47.4%-28.6% ahead of the June 8 primary.
