BIVENS’ RUSH TO THE AIRWAVES

Don Bivens is out with his first TV ad and the spot is already drawing national attention. The Washington Post writes that Bivens is the first democratic candidate in the country to use Rush Limbaugh’s controversial statements about a Georgetown law student in an ad.

The ad targets what it branded as the “GOP War on Women” as well as Republican candidate Jeff Flake. Bivens told Arizona Public Media that he is using the clip of Limbaugh to target the “extreme social agenda” of Jeff Flake and other Republicans in Congress.

Bivens ad targets Flake even though both candidates must make it through their respective party primaries before advancing to the general election.
