U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester) is set to launch her first television ad in her re-election campaign.

The ad, which was announced on Shea-Porter's Daily Kos diary page, will begin airing on Thursday and focuses on her efforts to promote health care for veterans. The ad also features a cameo from her mother.

"That's my mother, a Republican for 83 years, joining me on camera to remind people that caring for our veterans is not a partisan issue but a national priority," Shea-Porter wrote on Daily Kos. "I am using my seat on the Armed Services Committee to fight for better veterans care and I will not rest until NH veterans have the same access to care as other veterans in America."
