Airing in PA-12, the spot begins with tracker footage of Rothfus saying, “I believe in free trade. I think I see a country like Colombia, who has been making tremendous strides.”

Keith Rothfus and the National Republican Congressional Committee are up with new TV spots in PA-12 today. Rothfus rebuts suggestions that he’s a Wall Street guy, while the NRCC calls Critz a flip-flopper.

When you have a hit that moves numbers, don’t get fancy. That’s the takeaway from Democratic challenger Manan Trivedi’s latest TV ad, the second which hits Rep. Jim Gerlach over a 2001 state Senate vote to boost his pension.

The political arm of the American Hospital Association is spending $184,000 to tell 6th district residents just how great a guy Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-Chester) is for opposing Obamacare.

One day after the release of Phil Scollo’s first TV ad, Republican Tom Marino has put out an commercial of his own. It’s a 30 second positive spot about his accomplishments as a Congressman and former U.S. attorney.

It’s one of the most competitive congressional elections in the country, and with the launch Wednesday of Mark Crtiz’s new ad it’s becoming one of the most boilerplate. The spot contains familiar attacks over Medicare, as does Rothfus’s response.

Grover Norquist, the powerful conservative head of Americans for Tax Reform, is spending $495,000 to defend Republican Keith Rothfus against attacks related to his famous pledge.
