A Republican challenging a top state leader for the U.S. Senate nomination is throwing his first big swing with a six-figure ad buy.
In a new , Mike Gibbons never mentions Josh Mandel鈥檚 name.
鈥淲e sent them to Washington to repeal Obamacare and cut taxes, that鈥檚 what they promised us.鈥�
Instead the Cleveland-area business man, who鈥檚 challenging Treasurer Mandel in May鈥檚 Republican primary, takes aim at Washington insiders.
鈥淏ut now the career politicians have gone on vacation, do you take the month of August off?鈥�
The tone of the ad is similar to the rhetoric Mandel is also using in his campaign.
Gibbons faces an uphill battle. Mandel has been endorsed by high-profile Republicans such as Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rob Portman, not to mention the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County, Gibbon鈥檚 home county.
There鈥檚 no word on exactly how much Gibbons is spending on these ads, which will play on cable and digital platforms.
