SHREVEPORT, Louisiana — Retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness, one of the two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate here against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), on Wednesday introduced three positive television ads for his supporters to vote on—and is asking the grassroots to decide which one he puts on the air for the final three weeks of the campaign. "Louisianans are throwing up their hands daily and saying 'there they go again!' We saw it in the debate last night, and we've seen it on our TV sets for months now,” Maness said in a statement. “My two Washington-backed opponents have spent more than $10 million of negative advertising, and voters are just sick and tired of the same old uninspiring, D.C. consultant driven, negative silly slap fights -- Louisianans deserve better. From the start, our campaign has been focused on engaging voters on the issues that matter most and providing positive conservative #SolutionForUs to address the challenges we face. This campaign has always been about us Louisianans, so let's make this next decision together.”
The three television ads grassroots supporters can choose from are titled “Truck,” “Other Guy” and “Resilient.”
In the “Truck” ad, Maness is seen washing and tuning up his Ford pickup truck that he’s driven for 81,000-plus miles all across Louisiana this campaign cycle—visiting all of Louisiana’s 64 parishes.
“After driving to all of Louisiana’s 64 parishes, my truck reminds me of our country under Obama,” Maness says in the ad. “It’s running on empty, needs a tuneup and a good wash. Washington politicians can’t fix our problems or our trucks. Thanks to them we’ve got crushing deficits, porous borders and Obamacare. As Louisiana’s Senator, I’ll always put Louisiana over Washington and I’ll make Obamacare road kill.”
