Oregon: Democratic Senatorial Committee

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released a new ad Friday targeting U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Pendleton), claiming that he has not worked in Washington D.C to help Oregon families, but instead has worked for higher profits and tax breaks for oil companies which have given money to his campaign.

“With hundreds of thousands of dollars of Big Oil money lining Gordon Smith’s campaign coffers, it’s no wonder he thinks they deserve billions in special tax breaks,” DSCC spokesman Matthew Miller said.
