“What’s Right” and “Same Opportunity” Debut Tomorrow

Albuquerque, NM - Congressman Tom Udall's campaign for U.S. Senate today unveiled two new television advertisements that highlight his record of service and doing what’s right for New Mexicans and for veterans. The two new advertisements, entitled “What’s Right” and “Same Opportunity”, are set to begin airing across the state tomorrow.

The first, a 60-second advertisement entitled “What’s Right”, highlights Udall’s roots in New Mexico, beginning with his grandmother Louise Lee who was born in Luna, N.M. in 1893. The ad focuses on his record as a prosecutor and Attorney General, working to pass tough anti-stalking laws, a tougher DWI law, and prosecuting corrupt political officials, regardless of party. The ad also touches on Udall’s strong record of doing what’s right for New Mexico in the United States Congress, helping save Cannon Air Force Base, fighting for new counterterrorism jobs at Los Alamos and requiring utilities to use more alternative energy.

Also debuting tomorrow is a 30-second spot emphasizing Udall’s commitment to doing what’s right for our nation’s veterans. In the ad, entitled “Same Opportunity,” Udall reflects on his father’s military service and the G.I. Bill that helped him start a new life. The ad highlights his work increasing support for veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic stress disorder. Udall also discusses the need for a new G.I. Bill to help veterans afford college. To view “Same Opportunity” click HERE.

“These first ads will help New Mexicans see that Tom Udall has the integrity to do what’s right for New Mexico,” said Udall Campaign Manager Amanda Cooper. “As Attorney General and Congressman, Tom has a long record of fighting for the people of New Mexico. He’s repeatedly taken on the special interests because it was the right thing to do for the people of New Mexico. And he’ll continue to do that in the United States Senate.”
