New TV Ad Slams Kelly Ayotte for Anti-Choice Record

Put New Hampshire First, a group backed by the Democratic Governors Association, launched its first ad of the cycle, slamming Republican candidate Kelly Ayotte for her long anti-choice voting record in the U.S. Senate, and her continued support of Donald Trump and his extreme agenda. The ad, which is airing on both TV and digital platforms, cites Ayotte’s support for a national abortion ban and her failure to protect IVF during her term in the U.S. Senate, where she also called for the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The ad also slams Ayotte for supporting Donald Trump, who wants to let states monitorpregnant women and has bragged about ending Roe, which has led to numerous states passing near-total abortion bans and which Ayotte helped make possible by serving as Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s “sherpa” for his Senate confirmation.

 “Kelly Ayotte is desperate for Granite Staters to forget her long and dangerous record of voting to ban abortion nationwide, opposing protections for IVF, and championing the end of Roe v. Wade,” said DGA States Press Secretary Emma O’Brien. “But Granite Staters do remember, and they know they can’t trust a word she says. Granite Staters rejected Kelly Ayotte once before because they know she’s a self-interested politician who will say anything to get ahead, only to take aim once more at their most fundamental freedoms the first chance she gets. Granite Staters won’t let Kelly Ayotte take them backwards.”

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

“In the Senate, Kelly Ayotte supported a national abortion ban, and failed to protect access to IVF. 

“She’s also backing him [Donald Trump] again, even though he supports letting states monitor pregnant women. 

“Time and again, Kelly Ayotte has shown us exactly who she is. 

“And that’s why she can never be our governor.”
