NY-20: "One Of Us"
The Republican National Committee is airing the first television ad in the Albany, NY, area advocating for New York State Republican Leader Jim Tedisco, a candidate for open 20th district seat vacated by now Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D).
"Jim Tedisco's life changed forever when he lost his young brother with Down's syndrome," says a female narrator in the 30-second spot. "So Jim dedicated his life to serving others. Special ed teacher. Guidance counselor. Coach. Then to public service to help our families."
Tedisco will face Democratic venture capitalist Scott Murphy in the 3/31 special election. Murphy, less familiar to voters than his rival, began airing a 60-second bio spot last week that emphasizes his family's roots in the area and business experience.
Here's Tedisco's ad, which is running in Albany:
