| For all the past criticism of the local Democratic establishment for not investing in lower statewide races, it seems someone has listened. With about a week and a half to go, the Texas Democratic Party has decided to invest $800,000 into television advertisements for the small slate of Texas Supreme Court candidates.
From the Quorum Report:
The Texas Democratic Party has committed $800,000 to a statewide ad buy pushing the Democratic slate of candidates for the Texas Supreme Court, QR has learned.
The ad criticizes the Court, which doesn't have a single Democratic justice, for excessively favoring insurance companies in its decisions as well as overturning jury verdicts more than 80 percent of the time. They began airing yesterday and could be seen yesterday evening, for example, during local newscasts in Austin.
TDP spokesman Hector Nieto said that the intent is to run the ad in major markets across the state. "The TDP has purchased ad time to help promote our candidates," he said. "The buy is significant enough to be seen throughout the state of Texas." |
