NRCC Paid Web Ad Highlights Aaron Woolf as an Out-of-Touch Hypocrite

Entitled “Woolf of Manhattan,” the Ad introduces an Aaron Woolf that is very different from his rhetoric – and Bill Owens

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee today released a paid web ad highlighting the difference between Manhattan multimillionaire Aaron Woolf and the fictional version of Aaron Woolf that he is trying to sell to North Country voters.

“Manhattan multimillionaire Aaron Woolf may have moved to the North Country to run for Congress, but despite his generic Washington D.C. rhetoric he can’t run away from a multimillion dollar tobacco fortune, money in an offshore tax haven, and investments in companies that ship jobs overseas,” said NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior. “Nor can Woolf run from the fact that he profits from investments in Fortune 500 food companies while calling for North Country families to pay more for food like the rest of the world does.”

“Woolf of Manhattan” can be seen here:
