Sierra Club Runs New Ads Attacking Sununu
By Tia Carioli and Gregory Chisholm
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2002–The Sierra Club announced today they will be sponsoring a multi-million dollar advertising blitz in six states including New Hampshire focusing on the voting records of candidates in the November 5th general election.
NHPR Correspondent Gregory Chisholm reports from Washington.
New Hampshire’s Sierra Club has already endorsed Democrats Jeanne Shaheen, Katrina Swett and Martha Fuller Clark. And now the National Organization is taking on GOP Senate Candidate, Representative John Sununu.
In radio and TV ads, like this one, slated to run across NH from now until election day, the Sierra Club attacks Sununu’s record on environmental issues.
Congressman Sununu has sided with the polluters, voting to force taxpayers-not corporations-to pay for clean up.
In a written statement, Sununu says he is proud of his record in protecting New Hampshire’s environment and he calls the charges “ludicrous.”
Margaret Conway, the National Political Director for the Sierra Club, said today in Washington that New Hampshire is one of just six states in which the new ads will run.
The Sierra Club is also targeting candidates in Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and South Dakota.
