The biggest outside spender in Georgias 6th District race is taking one final shot at Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC backed by House GOP leadership, is launching its final TV ad in the race Tuesday, with just a week to go until the June 20 runoff.
Part of CLF's $7 million independent expenditure in the district, the ad returns to one of the groups earliest attacks against Ossoff namely that hes not ready for Congress.
The first outside group to invest in the open-seat race, CLF debuted that line of attack in March, trying to paint Ossoff as young and inexperienced and accusing him of exaggerating his national security credentials. Thats been a consistent GOP hit on the 30-year-old first-time candidate.
In Tuesdays ad, CLF accuses Ossoff of declining to participate in a CNN debate because he doesnt want to answer the tough questions. Ossoffs campaign has said that it would only participate in debates moderated by the metro Atlanta press corps.
