New Emmer ad, “Living Within Our Means”

Tom Emmer

Republican gubernatorial nominee Tom Emmer released a new television advertisement on Wednesday that focuses on his campaign themes of no new taxes, reigning in government spending and creating jobs.

The ad, called “Living Within Our Means,” opens with Emmer saying, “We don’t need more taxes, we need more jobs.” He says he is the only gubernatorial candidate to propose an “honest” plan to balance the budget that he claims will preserve education while reigning in spending in most other government services.

Emmer says DFL gubernatorial nominee Mark Dayton is for increasing government spending by 17 percent.

The ad features Emmer looking straight into the camera and narrating over images of him in a coffee shop, school, and at his Delano home with his wife and children.
