TV ads in Nebraska Senate race: Fischer taking no "bull"; Raybould on the attack
By Aaron Sanderford
LINCOLN — Three weeks after Democratic Senate candidate Jane Raybould released her first statewide television advertisement, U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, a Republican, hit the airwaves Wednesday with tough talk for Washington, D.C.
Fischer’s ad evoked the memorable “Make ‘em Squeal” TV spots run by fellow first-term Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, before her 2014 election.
Fischer’s new ranch ad stops short of castrating hogs — the squealing bit Ernst used to grab buzz for her race — but it carries a similar message from Fischer, a former Nebraska state senator. It uses cattle as a backdrop for the senator to say she has no patience for the “bull” of Capitol power players.
