Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, Republican candidate for governor, released a new television ad highlighting his primary opponents are “campaigning by slinging mud and acting like children.”
Kinder’s accompanying comment on Facebook?
While my opponents are campaigning by slinging mud and acting like children, I’m focused on issues that matter, like cutting taxes, fighting crime and defending your rights. If we’re going to move our state forward, we need a governor you can trust to fight for Missouri.
The ad depicts primary opponent Eric Greitens in camo and sunglasses, Catherine Hanaway in an oversized pink suit, and John Brunner in a dress shirt and hardhat.
Meanwhile, Democratic primary candidate for attorney general Teresa Hensley released her first television ad.
The ad description:
In her first television ad, Teresa Hensley discusses her commitment to ensuring Missouri’s most vulnerable – especially children and women – have the protection they deserve under the law.
Hensley hits her primary opponent Zimmerman for overcharging property taxes as assessor and highlighting his short term as an assistant attorney general, saying “He can’t protect us.”
