Maggie for NH Statement on Disgusting New Ad By Ayotte's Washington Republican Colleagues Politicizing Heroin and Opioid Crisis

Statement

Date: Aug. 1, 2016
Location: Concord, NH
Issues: Drugs Elections

Maggie for NH Campaign Manager Marc Goldberg released the following statement in response to the NRSC's disgusting new ad politicizing the heroin and opioid crisis:

"Ayotte's Washington Republican colleagues are launching the same false, misleading attacks that were decried across New Hampshire as "disgusting,' "trash' and "exactly what is wrong with politics.' The fact that Ayotte's Senate colleagues would actually run this disgusting ad shows Ayotte's tacit approval for politicizing the heroin and opioid crisis.

"Ayotte tried to save herself politically with empty words the last time her allies ran an ad politicizing this public health and safety crisis -- but this ad proves that Ayotte doesn't mean what she says. If Ayotte truly believed the crisis should not be politicized, she knows how to get in touch with Mitch McConnell. Kelly Ayotte, who has been raising money for the NRSC, should ensure that this ad is stopped."
