American Crossroads Goes After Alex Sink in New TV Ad

Republican-aligned super-PAC American Crossroads announced on Tuesday it was launching a new television ad taking aim at former state CFO Alex Sink, the Democratic candidate running in a special congressional election in Pinellas County. Sink takes on Republican David Jolly and Libertarian Lucas Overby in the March 11 election.

The ad from American Crossroads, which has ties to prominent Republican strategist Karl Rove, slams Sinks record in Tallahassee. The ad will be running over the next three weeks as American Crossroads spent $357,000 to run it in the Tampa Bay market.

Alex Sink sunk Florida, and now she wants to reward herself with a congressional seat, said Jonathan Collegio, a spokesman for American Crossroads. Floridians deserve better.
