New NRCC TV Ad Highlighting Nick Rahall’s War on Coal

October 7, 2014

Hey there,

The NRCC is up with its fifth television ad in WV-03 (Charleston-Huntington broadcast, Beckley-Bluefield broadcast, and cable). The ad, entitled “Friend of Coal,” highlights Rahall’s out-of-touch statement that Barack Obama “is definitely a friend of coal” and it reminds voters of Rahall’s vote for a carbon tax and a massive EPA budget. Click here or on the screenshot below for the ad.

NRCC Comment:“Even after Barack Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry, Nick Rahall supported him for president twice, then had the gall to say that Obama was ‘definitely a friend of coal.’ To make matters even worse, Rahall voted for the largest EPA budget in history and a devastating, job-killing carbon tax. If it weren’t clear already, it should be by now – it’s time for Nick Rahall to go.” – NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior
