2014 NM Senate debate: on Jobs


Tom Udall: AdWatch: Protect jobs at military bases & national labs

Tom Udall emphasizes his role in protecting federal facilities in New Mexico--namely military bases and national laboratories--in his latest campaign ad. Udall, a Democrat, doesn't even mention his Republican opponent, Allen Weh, in this ad or his previous ones. The 30-second commercial, titled "The Best Part," features a cheerful Udall doing all the talking, as well as scenes of children pretending to be flying military jets and working on a science project in a classroom. This is the script of the spot:

"I'm Tom Udall, and we're not allowed to film campaign ads at military bases and national labs. But I can show you who will work there in the future. Our saving Cannon Air Force Base and its thousands of jobs means now it will be there for them when they grow up. And protecting Sandia labs and Los Alamos from budget cuts means all of those jobs will be there, too. I'm Tom Udall, and I approved this message because this is the best part of my job."
