Washington, DC – Club for Growth Action today announced that it will begin a new, $1.5 million TV and Radio ad campaign criticizing “big-spending, tax-raising David Dewhurst” in the U.S. Senate runoff election in Texas. The Club for Growth PAC has endorsed former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz in the race. The seat will become vacant following the retirement of Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison.

In addition to the TV and Radio components, Club for Growth Action will launch a 10 and 15-second version of the TV ad that will run statewide as part of an internet campaign designed to raise awareness among Texas Republicans that David Dewhurst is a big-spending establishment moderate.

“Big-spending and tax-raising David Dewhurst is desperately attacking Ted Cruz to try and distract from his own record.” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “Dewhurst backed new taxes, new spending, and now he’s hoping Texas Republicans won’t learn the truth. David Dewhurst is an establishment moderate, and on July 31^st, Texas Republicans can send the establishment in Austin and in Washington a big message by voting for free-market champion Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate.”

IN THE WORDS OF RONALD REAGAN, NOW IS A TIME FOR CHOOSING.

ON JULY THIRTY-FIRST, IN THE REPUBLICAN U.S. SENATE RUNOFF, TEXAS CONSERVATIVES HAVE A CLEAR CHOICE.

THERE’S TED CRUZ, A CHAMPION FIGHTER FOR SMALLER GOVERNMENT AND CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS.

AND THERE’S LONGTIME INSIDER AND ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIAN DAVID DEWHURST.

DEWHURST TRIES TO CALL HIMSELF A CONSERVATIVE . . . BUT, THE RECORD JUST ISN’T THERE.

IN AUSTIN, DEWHURST FOUGHT CONSERVATIVES BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SPEND BILLIONS MORE.

DEWHURST PUSHED FOR EARMARKS, WAGE TAXES, AND A STATEWIDE PROPERTY TAX.

IT’S NO WONDER EVERY MAJOR NEWSPAPER IN TEXAS CALLS DEWHURST A MODERATE.

ON JULY THIRTY-FIRST, SEND THE ESTABLISHMENT MODERATES A BIG MESSAGE.

VOTE FOR TED CRUZ FOR U.S. SENATE.
