DES MOINES – The Grassley Committee today released a new ad contrasting Chuck Grassley’s perfect attendance record with Patty Judge’s absenteeism that will begin broadcasting across Iowa television stations today.

“Tonight, the difference between Iowa’s Chuck Grassley and his opponent couldn’t have been clearer,” said Grassley Works campaign manager Bob Haus.

For Patty, Past is Prologue: No Enthusiasm, No Campaign Presence, No Talk of the Issues. For an indication of what to expect from Patty Judge in the final three weeks, a look back at the previous three weeks tells the story of a campaign that lacks grassroots enthusiasm, lacks a consistent presence on the campaign trail and lacks a clear, positive message with solutions to the concerns of Iowans.
