New NRCC TV Ad and Website Targets Peterson’s Congressional Perks
The National Republican Congressional Committee today released its first fall TV ad in Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District along with a website encouraging voters to learn more about Rep. Collin Peterson’s congressional perks. Entitled “Changed”, the ad is running in the Fargo and Minneapolis markets.
The website, www.petersonrecord.com, lists a timeline of all the taxpayer-funded congressional perks Collin Peterson has enjoyed over his 23 years in Congress, including taxpayer-funded car leases, private planes, and travel reimbursements.
NRCC Comment: “Collin Peterson’s 23 years in Congress have made him a creature of Washington. Instead of standing up for Minnesota families and farmers, Peterson is enjoying taxpayer-funded car leases and private flights. Minnesotans wants a congressman who puts their interests ahead of congressional perks.” – Tyler Q. Houlton, NRCC Spokesman
