Bridge - Aug. 14, 2014
August 14, 2014
GOV. ZELL MILLER: Working together—not as Democrats or Republicans but as Georgians. That’s how we passed the Hope scholarship. But I'm so angry about what's going on in Washington—partisanship over patriotism. They can't stop themselves. But we can stop them. Let’s send Michelle Nunn to the Senate. She's a bridge builder, not a bridge burner. Michelle Nunn gives this old Georgian hope. NUNN: I'm Michelle Nunn. I approve this message, and I'm so honored to have your support.

Feeling Ignored? - Aug. 12, 2014
August 12, 2014
REPORTER: Given the demographic difference between you and Ms. Grimes in terms of your age versus hers as well as the fact that she's already highlighted here that she's a woman and she's going to be keying in on female issues, how are you counter that? MCCONNELL: Well as Ronald Reagan famously said once, I won't use my opponent's age and experience as an issue in this campaign. REPORTER: What about on women's issues?

What Can Happen - Aug. 15, 2014
August 15, 2014
GRIMES: I'm Alison Lundergan Grimes and I approve this message. ANNOUNCER: What can happen in 30 years? A senator can become a multi-millionaire in public office, while voting seventeen times against raising the minimum wage, three times for corporate tax breaks that send Kentucky jobs overseas, and twelve times against extending unemployment benefits for laid-off workers. And when asked about it? Just laughs. Thirty years of Mitch McConnell is long enough.

CAROL WATKINS: My husband was a 100-percent disabled veteran and in our later years we depended on that money from the VA.

ANNOUNCER: Scott Walker's fairytale ad. An outrageous attack on a great Wisconsin company. The real story?

It's Walker's agency that gave millions in tax breaks to companies that relocated jobs overseas—another reason Wisconsin's dead last in Midwest job growth. Scott Walker—fairytale ads, fairytale promises on jobs.

Working for You - July 8, 2014
July 8, 2014
BURKE: It was here in this small barn that my father had a big idea -- Trek Bicycle. I'm Mary Burke and I'm proud to have helped build Trek into a great Wisconsin company where nearly a thousand people go to work every day. But I also know that for too many, the economy isn't working as it should. Good jobs like Trek's are hard to find and it's a struggle paying the bills or saving a little. That's why I'm running for governor, because we can do better. Instead […]

ANNOUNCER: Mary Burke. Today, 930 people work at Trek, the great Wisconsin company she helped build. And when she was commerce secretary, there were 72,000 more jobs than today. So why is Scott Walker's RGA spending a million dollars attacking her? Under Walker, unemployment's up, job prospects are down to 45th in the nation and layoffs continue. There's a better way. A strong economy starts with a strong middle class, and that's what Mary Burke's working on every day.
