Connecticut Local Politics

This is Courtney’s first ad, and it’s a positive spot highlighting the securing of funding for two subs per year at Electric Boat. The target is New London County (the ad opens with Courtney standing in front of EB’s landmark construction buildings on the Thames), but also is designed to appeal to all voters worried about the economy. Here’s the script:

Courtney: Strengthening our economy. It starts right here – in Connecticut.

Voice Over: That’s why Joe Courtney, a respected member of the Armed Services Committee fought to win funding to build two submarines a year at Groton’s Electric Boat. More progress in two years than in over a decade.

Courtney: Protecting Connecticut’s jobs, families, and future.

Voice Over: At a time Washington can’t seem to get anything right… Joe Courtney works to get things done for us.

Courtney (as voiceover): I’m Joe Courtney. And I approve this message.

The ad will begin running next week.
