Terry McAuliffe releases new ad highlighting bipartisan transportation bill

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe released his campaign’s second advertisement today, which recounts his involvement in the February passage of Virginia’s bipartisan transportation bill–the first transportation funding measure that had been approved in the state in 27 years.

The ad describes McAuliffe’s efforts to convince Virginia legislators to support the bill and highlights his commitment to finding mainstream solutions to improving Virginia’s economy and infrastructure: “Terry McAuliffe thinks this is too important a time for partisan politics. McAuliffe reaches out to Democrats and urges them to support the bill, and the bill passes,” the narrator states.

The ad also comments that while the bill was “backed by Republican Governor McDonnell, tea party Republicans refuse to support the plan.”
