Today, Russ's campaign released a new statewide television ad, entitled ”Garage Door.” The ad highlights the garage door pledge Russ made to the people of Wisconsin in 1992. Russ put three promises on the garage door of his Middleton home, added two more promises, and has kept that pledge to the people of Wisconsin since they first elected him to be their voice in the U.S. Senate.
The ad highlights what Wisconsinites know, Russ has always worked for them. The Journal Sentinel reported that research proved Russ was the number 1 maverick in the Senate in seven of the nine sessions of Congress in which he has served.
Not only has Russ been a constant independent voice, he has been the right type of maverick.Washingtonian Magazine concluded in a recent survey that Russ was the number one enemy of lobbyists in the Senate and called Russ, “still the body’s chief anti-lobbying crusader.”
Wisconsin needs Russ now more than ever. Ron Johnson is backed by the Senate’s biggest friend to lobbyists, Mitch McConnell, while Russ was named the lobbyist’s enemy. The choice is clear for Wisconsin: a true independent voice, or a man with a shaky record who’s afraid to debate because he has no real positions or solutions.
