The House GOP campaign committee said Thursday they are launching a TV ad against DFL candidate Andrew Carlson, as he runs in the special election to replace former Rep. Ann Lenczewski, the longtime DFL lawmaker who retired late last year.
Carlson, who sits on the Bloomington City Council, is running against the GOP's Chad Anderson.
The special election is Tuesday, Feb. 9.
According to a news release from the House Republican Campaign Committee, the ad will be in "heavy rotation" and accuse Carlson of voting to raise property taxes, increase electricity rates and approve new garbage collection rules.
A GOP spokesman said the ad will run on cable TV in the area around Bloomington and cost about $5,000.
