WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm is returning to Kentucky airwaves with a new ad in the final week of the costly Senate race.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on Tuesday released an ad criticizing Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for spending three decades in Washington while his Kentucky constituents struggled to make ends meet. The ad features a teacher who says McConnell voted for pay raises for himself but opposed increases to the federal minimum wage.
The DSCC stopped airing ads in Kentucky two weeks ago. Last week they said they were returning to voters’ televisions. This week, they released this ad.
McConnell is locked in a tight race against Democratic nominee Alison Lundergan Grimes. Both sides and their allies have spent almost $68 million in that race.
