DSCC Releases New TV Ad in North Carolina Senate Race: 'Turned His Back'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 -- The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issued the following news release:

The DSCC released a new TV ad in North Carolina's Senate race, "Turned His Back," spotlighting Senator Thom Tillis' record of voting to benefit his corporate special interest donors instead of North Carolinians.

Senator Tillis has put the interests of his big pharmaceutical and insurance industry donors ahead of North Carolinians. Tillis has taken $1.4 million in campaign cash from the drug and insurance industry and sided with these corporate donors when he opposed legislation to lower prescription drug costs and voted four times to repeal the Affordable Care Act and allow insurance companies to deny coverage to North Carolinians with pre-existing conditions.

The ad is the sixth to run in North Carolina from the DSCC IE and is part of the committee's previously announced offensive television and digital paid investments in key battleground states.

Transcript:

"We don't have an army of lobbyists. It's Thom Tillis's job to represent us. But in Washington, Tillis took $1.4 million in campaign cash from the drug and insurance industry - and worked for them. He opposed cracking down on drug company price gouging and voted four times to gut coverage for people with pre-existing conditions like cancer. Weak. Corrupt. Thom Tillis turned his back on North Carolina."
