Tisei Grabs Autumn Air Time
The congressional candidate has purchased four weeks of TV ads.
You'll probably be seeing a lot more of congressional candidate Richard Tisei. The Republican from Wakefield has reserved about $650,000 in cable and broadcast TV advertising to be aired starting in October, Roll Call is reporting.
The campaign reserved the ads to air on cable stations from Oct. 9 to 15 and both cable and Boston broadcast stations from Oct. 16 through election day when he takes on Congressman John Tierney for the state's 6th congressional district seat.
“This is a substantial buy for the final four weeks of the campaign,” Tisei campaign manager Paul Moore said in a statement to Roll Call. “It will ensure Richard’s ability to connect with the voters, who are looking for an independent-minded, problem-solving, effective Congressman.”
