Lunsford Asks Kentucky “How Are You Doing?”
McConnell and his special interest friends make millions while Kentuckians pays the price
LOUISVILLE — “How are you doing?” That’s the question posed in the new television commercial released today by Bruce Lunsford, his fourth of the general election. In the new ad, which will run statewide, the Democratic nominee for Senate addresses viewers directly and notes that Big Oil CEOs got paid an average of $15 million last year and Mitch McConnell has become a multi-millionaire while working on the taxpayer dime. Lunsford continues to point out that McConnell favors special interests over Kentuckians and has grown out of touch after 24 years in Washington, while Kentucky families are hit hard by the Bush-McConnell economy.
“Mitch McConnell’s buddies in Big Oil just recorded the biggest profits in history,” Lunsford says, “How are you doing? On average, Big Oil CEOs got paid $15 million last year. How about you? And after 24 years in the Senate, Mitch McConnell has become a multi-millionaire. Guess who paid for that? You did. I’m Bruce Lunsford and I approve this message, because when your Senator and his special interest pals are doing so much better than you, it’s time for a change.”
This is Lunsford’s fourth television ad, and the Louisville businessman is zeroing in on McConnell, who has been in the Senate for 24 years.
“While Mitch McConnell’s buddies at Big Oil have seen record profits this year, and earned an average of $15 million in pay last year, Mitch McConnell has become a multi-millionaire on the taxpayer dime,” said campaign spokesperson Cary Stemle. "Mitch McConnell has forgotten where he comes from and is not on our side. He is no longer the Senator from the great Commonwealth of Kentucky; he is now the Senator from Big Oil. It is time for a change.”
