WASHINGTON (CNN) - House Democrats will target seven Republicans in a five-day radio ad buy next week accusing the GOP lawmakers of having a poor record on veterans' issues, a Democratic campaign official tells CNN. The buy coincides with the Fourth of July Congressional recess when lawmakers return to their districts and states to meet with constituents, attend forums and march in Independence Day parades. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), said the 60 second radio ads will begin running on Monday and noted this buy is one element of a larger campaign of web videos, 50,000 telephone calls and 2 million email contacts that is being employed in an effort to influence voters' opinions of 14 incumbent Republicans during this time period. The DCCC would not say how much the buy will cost only noting that it would last for five days. The DCCC will be airing radio ads and directing emails into the Congressional districts of: Rep. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Rep. Sam Graves of Missouri, Rep. Robin Hayes of North Carolina, Rep. Joe Knollenberg of Michigan, Rep. Jon Porter of Nevada, Rep. Jim Walsh of New York and Rep. Don Young of Alaska. In addition, the DCCC said they will be directing telephone calls, emails and creating web videos targeting: Rep. Thelma Drake of Virginia, Rep. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Rep. Randy Kuhl of New York, Rep. Marilyn Musgrave of Colorado and Rep. Heather Wilson of New Mexico. And it will be creating a web ad and directing emails into the districts of Rep. Phil English of Pennsylvania and Rep. Mike Ferguson of New Jersey. – CNN Political Editor Mark Preston Filed under: Uncategorized
