Political attacks, students loans, the Tea Party agenda and Congressional perks are the subjects of TV ads that debuted Friday for Republican Carl DeMaio and Democratic Rep. Scott Peters.
The race in the 52nd District is considered one of the closest in the country and is attracting national campaign contributions to finance TV ads.
DeMaio’s ad blasts his opponent for allegedly lying in attack ads and outlines DeMaio’s “Fix Congress First” reform plan to cut perks and privileges for members of Congress
The ad for Peters was placed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. It accuses DeMaio of following a Tea Party agenda that would cut student loans.
Times of San Diego is posting competing campaign ads for the benefit of this site’s primarily younger readers and voters who are less likely to watch TV. A majority of campaign spending nationally goes into TV ads, even though the median age of TV viewers in America is 54, almost two decades older than the national median age of 38.
The 52nd District covers much of central San Diego County including Poway, Coronado and large portions of the City of San Diego.
