The DCCC is on the air with a new TV ad in the NY-23 special election, a Republican-held swing seat that opened up when Rep. John McHugh was appointed Secretary of the Army by President Obama. The new ad goes after the GOP nominee, state Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, for voting for higher taxes — the sort of attack we typically see Republicans launching against the Dems.
“Scozzafava was criticized for managing the investment arm of a company, whose subsidiaries owe $192,000 in back taxes,” the announcer says. “The icing on the cake? She voted for more taxes and fees for you — 190 times. Typical Albany politician Dede Scozzafava: A tax record we can’t afford.”
