Eric Hovde takes a serious shot at his Republican Senate primary rivals in a new ad, suggesting Tommy Thompson is past his prime.
“Seeing these nasty TV ads from Tommy Thompson and Mark Neumann, yuck. I bet you’ll be glad when this is over,” Hovde says. “Years ago, Thompson served our state well — it’s a shame to see him end this way.
Hovde also knocks former Rep. Mark Neumann, who ran in the 2010 gubernatorial primary against Scott Walker: “This time, Neumann’s attacking me instead of Walker.”
The Wisconsin primary will be held next Tuesday, Aug. 14.
