Democrat PAC Goes to Bat for Joe Garcia and Patrick Murphy

Democrat PAC Patriot Majority USA announced it will spend $700,000 in ads over the next two weeks to defend vulnerable Democrats in the U.S. House including two based in Florida.

The PAC will spend $141,000 to protect U.S. Rep. Joe Garcia, D-Fla., and another $122,000 to defend U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla.

The radical tea party agenda being pushed in Washington would destroy the economy and hurt middle-class families, said Candace Bryan Abbey, a communications consultant for Patriot Majority USA, on Monday. We are pleased by recent polls showing that Americans are rejecting the tea party and its radical agenda, but the job of discrediting its radical policies is far from over, which is why we are running these issue ads in Arizona, Florida, Washington and Wisconsin, and its why we are proud to stand up for policymakers who fight for working families in the face of overwhelming opposition from the Koch brothers and special interests.
