U.S. Senate Gary Peter's campaign has gone after Republican opponent Terri Lynn Land for shilling for the billionaire Koch brothers, who have bankrolled ads attacking Peters for backing Obamacare.
Now, Land's campaign is releasing two Internet ads that say that Peters is working for "billionaires, not Michigan," the Detroit News reports.
The News reports:
Her ads cite media reports that Peters attended a Feb. 19 event with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and former Vice President Al Gore at the San Francisco home of Tom Steyer, a billionaire hedge fund manager who has vowed to spend tens of millions in favor of candidates who oppose the pipeline.
“Gary Peters — working for billionaires not Michigan,” say the two ads from Land. “Steyer could make millions by killing the pipeline by investments in Keystone’s competitor.”
Meanwhile, both candidates have been working hard to portray themselves as regular folk. -- Allan Lengel
