Gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman is out today with a new 30-second television ad portraying her rival Attorney General Jerry Brown as in the pocket of labor unions and special interests. The narrator charges that “the special interests have chosen their governor,” and features gloomy photos of Brown.
Whitman (R-CA), who already has poured $90 million of her own money into the race, will run the ad statewide. As TPM detailed in a piece last week about Whitman’s strategy, the ad goes right at the campaign’s attempt to make Brown seem like a relic of days past.
“They want Jerry Brown because he won’t rock the boat in Sacramento. He’ll be the same as he ever was,” the narrator says. “High taxes. Lost jobs. Big pensions for state employees.”
