The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has reduced its TV ad buy in the 2nd Congressional District race as Democrat Harry Teague is struggling to defend himself against attacks from Republican Steve Pearce related to his companys cutting of health care for employees.
The DCCC, the campaign arm of Democrats in the U.S. House, has canceled this weeks TV ad buy in the El Paso media market. The group also appears to have increased its buy in the Albuquerque market for the 1st District race between Democrat Martin Heinrich and Republican Jon Barela while scaling back its buy in that market for the 2nd District race.
That means the group plans fewer TV ads in support of Teague and more ads in support of Heinrich.
In the 2nd District, the El Paso market reaches Doña Ana County, which is critical to Teagues re-election hopes, so the DCCC canceling its ad buy there is significant. The Albuquerque market reaches the rest of the 2nd District, which makes up almost all of Southern New Mexico.

Some out of state groups are spending big bucks in negative attack ads against Steve, the most recent touting a statement from Soros-backed CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) that Pearce was one of the two most corrupt Congressmen in Washington, mainly because he sold his successful business to an oil-field service company (Key Energy) then supported tax breaks for independent oil producers. (Ads attacking Pearce arent entirely true or false
Steve's a good conservative, family man, low-key but effective. If you wish to contribute, here is a link to his website:

You’re right about the low-key part. I think some people misunderstand that or misinterpret it as not too passionate. I hope he wins and while I think this is positive, the lack of backing for Teague, there’s still a lot of Dems down in that area that just don’t get it.
Yes!!! I have been waiting for this.
