Source: The Hill
Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC launched a digital ad on Friday knocking GOP gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie for not addressing womens health issues on his campaign website.
The digital ad, provided first to The Hill, is part of a $2 million coordinated ad campaign along with other liberal groups in support of Virginia Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D). Gillespie and Northam square off in the only competitive statewide race next Tuesday.
The spot scrolls through Gillespies health care plan on his campaign website and notes that no womens issues come up on that page, arguing that hes only for some Virginians.
