The Congressional Leadership Fundย has released a 30-second ad and put it on Youtube today, the start of a $700,000 ad buy on cable channels targeting Congressional District 2 candidate Matt Heinz.

With the ads set to run in Tucson, faulting the emergency room physician for "empty rhetoric" and ย supporting what the CLF calls "harmful policies" including the Affordable Care Act and tax hikes.

โ€œMatt Heinz may talk a smooth game in Arizona but from Obamacare to raising taxes, his policy positions are part of the problem that many Arizona families face,โ€ said Ruth Guerra, spokeswoman for CLF. โ€œArizonans deserve a proven, results-oriented leader like Martha McSally who will stand up to harmful policies like Obamacare.โ€

A 15-second version of the ad will run on digital platforms.ย 

From the ad:

Heinz: Do no harm. Thatโ€™s the oath I took as a doctor.

(narrator):ย Matt Heinz says do no harm, but he supports Obamacare.

Which harms seniors by cutting Medicare,

And harms Arizonans with skyrocketing premiums.

Heinz: Do no harm.

(narrator):ย But Matt Heinz strongly supported a 17% sales tax hike, which wouldโ€™ve harmed Arizona families.

Matt Heinz. Soothing words. Harmful actions.
