Kelley Touts Progress On Transportation, Education


New campaign ads highlight governor's achievements

NORTH BERIVIAN, DES--With less than a week to go before the general election, the campaign of struggling incumbent governor Sharon Kelley (CNS) has released a series of new ads that highlight the governor's accomplishments since she took office one year ago.

Specifically, the ads focus on Kelley's work on transporation and education. One ad, entitled "Fast-Lane," hails Kelley's increase in spending on transportation projects. Another ad talks about Kelley's "commitment to smaller class sizes," and praises the governor's "dedication to [Deschire's] children."

A third ad released by the campaign commends the governor for capping property taxes.

"When Deschire families were struggling to make ends meet, Governor Kelley stood up to the spend-and-tax establishment, and worked with the legislature to cap property taxes," the narrator says.

Kelley's opponent, nationalist Lieutenant Governor Jake Kemp, has not yet released a counter-ad. But the Kemp campaign did talk with the media about the Kelley commercials. Spokesman Aaron Harson said that while Kelley takes credit for transportation projects and education and tax reform, little actual progress has been made on those issues.

"She talks a lot about transportation projects, when in reality she cut 30,000 low-income children from state healthcare rolls to fund those projects. That's not progress, that's abandonment," Harson said.

Kelley is trying to re-take the lead in the race for governor. Recent polls have consistently put her behind Kemp, with the latest poll conducted by WOAB-TV showing Kemp with 52% to Kelley's 48%. The margin of error in that race was 3 points.
