NEA Hits Gardner In
Colorado With Spanish Language Ad
by Dan Riehl 23 Sep 2014, 4:33 PM PDT
The National Education Association has jumped into the Colorado Senate
race with a new $200,000, two week
ad buy across the Denver and Colorado Springs areas.
The ad targets Republican Rep. Cory Gardner in his race
against incumbent Mark Udall, D-Colo. Udall is considered
vulnerable and a key to the GOP taking control of the U.S. Senate.
The NEA ad, provided first to CQ Roll Call, features five
people speaking directly to camera in Spanish about their dreams for their
children to get a good education.
Latinos represent a key voting block in Colorado with over
17% of the states voters identifying themselves as Hispanic, or Latino. All alliance of
Democrat and left-leaning groups
has already been targeting them this cycle.
The NEA ad comes on the heels of a larger Spanish-language
ad buy from the SEIU, and it’s part of a larger coordinated effort among
Democratic groups aimed at Latino voters in Colorado, according to an NEA
spokesman. The coalition includes the SEIU, People for the American Way, Senate Majority PAC,
and NEA.
