Shaheen calls Sununu ad ‘inaccurate’

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) is calling her opponent's most recent ad "a desperate attempt to run from his record" and said a reference in the ad is "inaccurate."

However, U.S. Sen. John Sununu's (R-Waterville Valley) campaign says that the ad is correct and says Shaheen is citing the wrong document.

In Sununu's newest television ad, titled "Common Sense," the ad states, "six months ago Jeanne Shaheen still saw no risk and said let them use ‘flexibility and common sense.' Boy Jeanne that worked out well."
