Behind the Ad: The DSCC and Senate Majority PAC have a first go at Gabriel Gomez

By Richard K. Barry

Who: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Senate Majority PAC

Where: Massachusetts

What's going on: Election day is June 25th for the special election to fill Secretary of State John Kerry's Senate seat. Some people think it's a competitive race. The DSCC and Senate Majority PAC may agree as they are spending real money on ad buys to attack Republican nominee Gabriel Gomez.

Roll Call:

[T]wo ads released Friday by the national Democratic groups specifically target seniors — potential high-propensity voters even in odd-timed elections. Neither ad mentions Rep. Edward J. Markey, the Democratic nominee, preferring instead to accuse Gomez of supporting cutting Medicare and raising the retirement age.

This is the DSCC ad called "Break:"

 

And the Senate Majority PAC ad called "Trust:"
