Virginia state senator John Miller is lobbying to get three stations in the Hampton Roads area to stop airing an attack ad against him.
The ad (pictured) is a $50,715 buy from the state Republican party that began airing this week on CBS-affiliate WTKR, NBC-affiliate WAVY and Cox Cable, according to the Virginian-Pilot.
The Miller campaign says the ad, which claims Miller was hired by Orion Air Group after he voted on a bill that would give them tax breaks, are inaccurate and part of a “desperate smear” campaign. As of Friday morning, the ad remained on the air on all three stations. >Update: The Virginia Republican party has agreed to revise the ad.
