Shun attack ads

Thu., Oct. 7, 2010

I have just received the latest in a series of Chris Marr fliers. They attempt to portray him as being “independent” of everything but the teachers union.

The latest one, however, hits too low. In it, “Chris” states that “my opponent moved here in January to launch a campaign.” That is a half-truth at best. Mike Baumgartner left Spokane to help defend the country with the State Department, then returned. Come on, Chris, state your case, but avoid panic attacks and misrepresentations.
