GOP ads link Dems to Valley water crisis

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on July 2, 2009 at 2:12 pm

From the Fresno Bee:

Republican strategists are now roughing up San Joaquin Valley congressional Democrats with radio ads linking them to the region’s water woes. In an aggressive new tack, the National Republican Congressional Committee on Wednesday began running a 60-second radio ad attacking Reps. Dennis Cardoza, D-Merced, and Jim Costa, D-Fresno. The ad running throughout the week links the two Democrats to systemic irrigation-water shortages.

“Cardoza and Costa can’t persuade Democrat leaders to change radical environmental laws,” the ad intones. “So while the congressmen fail … the Valley goes dry.”

The Republican Congressional Committee did not offer further explanation for this particular ad or the targeting. The campaign committee is, however, running a number of ads against Democrats. For instance, this week, the committee also initiated ads attacking 14 other Democrats on energy issues.

    That plan might just backfire. Costa and Cardoza have been visibly outspoken on this issue.
