Update: DSCC airs new ad against Sununu

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has begun airing a new ad against U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) that claims the GOP incumbent is ignoring the middle-class.

The 30-second ad, titled "Doesn't See," takes aim at Sununu's voting record.

"It's getting harder for the middle class," the narrator says. "And John Sununu doesn't even see it."

The ad says Sununu voted against re-importation of prescription drugs from Canada, against home heating assistance and voted to cut 200,000 people from Medicare.
