Summary: An announcer pokes holes in Pearce's voting record and claims he cannot win in November because of it.
Script of "Steve Pearce: Wrong For New Mexico" (TV)
HEATHER WILSON [v/o]: I'm Heather Wilson, and I approve this message.
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Cut Social Security for widows and orphans? Unbelievable. But Steve Pearce said he'd do it. Pearce said cut them off, no benefits.
(Text on screen: "...no longer allowing children... Social Security benefits of... deceased parents" -- Albuquerque Journal May 7, 2000)
Pearce also voted to cut $169 million from New Mexico’s share of hospital funding, and against cracking down on health care fraud and abuse.
Steve Pearce: Cut Social Security. Cut New Mexico hospitals. Wrong for New Mexico.
With that record, he can’t win in November.
(Text on screen: Paid for by Heather Wilson For Senate)
