Campaign Ads and Videos
This page is a roundup of some of the latest political ads and videos. Special thanks to PoliticsTV and Firedog Lake for the RSS feeds used to generate this page. Most of the commentary about the ads belongs to those sites and does not necessarily reflect the views of the AFL-CIO.
All of the videos on this page are listed for the purpose of tracking ads and other campaign video, in response to several requests for a mechanism to do this. Thus, videos are shown here whether we agree or disagree with the ads or the corresponding commentary, and do not in any way connote an endorsment of their message.

Springfield's police, teachers, firefighters, school administrators and newspaper all agree. Doug Harpool is the best choice for Springfield's senator. The News-Leader calls Harpool more qualified with a better handle on issues and a stronger, more independent voice. Don't let Norma Champion's false attack ads about the past mislead you -- Harpool was our most effective lawmaker. Now he's back, ready to fight skyrocketing healthcare costs ... restore funding for our schools ... and clean up politics by cracking down on special interest lobbyists. On Tuesday, choose Harpool's positive plans for the future over false attacks about the past. Doug Harpool
