Steve Southerland Goes After Gwen Graham on Medicare

Facing a tough challenge from Democrat Gwen Graham in next weeks election, U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., is going on the attack in the final days of the campaign. This week, Southerlands team launched a new TV ad trying to link Graham to Beltway Democrats and insisting she is looking to cut Medicare.

Obama, Pelosi and Gwen Graham are putting your Medicare at risk, the announcer of the ad says.

Gwen Graham continues to lie about Steve Southerlands record on Medicare, said Luke Strickland, Southerlands campaign manager, on Friday. In fact, non-partisan fact checks have called her recycled attacks the lie of the year and a whopper [used] shamelessly to scare seniors. So why is Gwen Graham deceiving our seniors? Because she could never get elected if seniors knew the truth about Gwens support for devastating cuts to Medicare funding and Medicare Advantage benefits for Florida seniors.
