Democrat Donkey

The Alliance for Common Sense, an affiliate of the Democratic Governors Association (DGA), has launched a new advertisement that criticizes Republican gubernatorial nominee Tim Michels for his “radical, divisive agenda.”

A DGA spokeswoman said that the ad will run statewide, while a second version will be aired in the Milwaukee-area market. While it is unknown how much the group is spending on the ad, the DGA previously announced in May that it would spend $21,000,000 in initial television ad buy reservations in Wisconsin.

The ad claims that, “in [Michels’] Wisconsin, teens can buy AR-15s. But laws that stop domestic abusers from getting guns ‘won’t happen hear.’ Our taxes could go up $500,000,000 and we help fund Milwaukee private schools while our public schools go broke.” The spot concludes with the narrator saying that Wisconsinites “don’t have to take” Michels’ agenda because “it’s not his Wisconsin, it’s yours.”
