Ad highlights work to keep Washington the hub of aerospace industry

SEATTLE – U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell’s campaign today released its first television and online advertisement. The 30-second ad begins running statewide today.

“Maria Cantwell is focused on job creation and revitalizing our economy. Today we are sharing Maria's record of working to make sure Washington remains the hub of America's aerospace industry,” said Rose Kapolczynski, Cantwell campaign strategist. "With only a week before primary ballots go out, we wanted to remind voters of Maria's efforts to get our economy moving again.”

The ad, “The Hub,” highlights Maria Cantwell’s commitment to Washington’s aerospace industry by:

·Fighting for programs at community colleges to retrain new and unemployed workers for careers in aerospace

·Standing up to unfair foreign competition that threatened Washington’s aerospace jobs

·Working to secure a multi-billion dollar tanker contract for the Boeing Company, which will mean 11,000 jobs in Washington state

Protecting Washington’s Natural Resources

As one of the most beautiful states in the union–and one of the richest in natural resources–Washington has a special interest in energy and environmental policy. And Maria has fought hard to uphold the state’s conservation tradition, while also working to bring our energy policy into the 21st century.

Fighting For Washington Businesses, Workers and Jobs

Maria knows Washington’s business community – because, as an executive at an innovative software company, she was part of it. And as a Senator, she’s led the way in helping businesses large and small throughout Washington grow, thrive, and create jobs.

Keeping Washington Families Safe

Maria has taken a leadership role on safety and security issues, including defending our borders, strengthening our military, cracking down on gangs, and taking on drug crime in Washington communities.

Standing with Middle-Class Taxpayers

Middle-class families around Washington and across the country are facing tough times–and tough decisions about balancing the family checkbook each month. Maria has fought to strengthen the economic security of Washington families and cut taxes for middle-class families.
