U.S. Chamber goes to bat for Fiorina

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is sending more resources into the California Senate race, launching today a new ad attacking U.S. Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer.

The 30-second "issue advocacy" ad, "28 years of Barbara Boxer," accuses the three-term senator of causing the national deficit and taxes to climb during her time in Washington. It will air in the Los Angeles media market and across the state, according to a release.

The business lobbying group is backing Republican candidate Carly Fiorina, who has trailed Boxer in two recent polls. The ad is part of the group's "issue advocacy" California voter education campaign, a media blitz that has included spots attacking Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown. It is supporting Republican Meg Whitman in that race.
