Strimling releases TV ad

Democrat Ethan Strimling is now on the air with a TV ad focused on the wealth gap.

"There's one gulf war I do want to fight," Strimling says while walking outside the Palace Diner in Biddeford. "That's the gulf between the very rich and the rest of us."

Later, talking to people inside the diner, Strimling says, "They send our jobs overseas, they raid our pensions. They're making billions. And then they pay lower taxes than the rest of us."

The ad is currently airing on network and cable TV, according to the Strimling campaign. You can also watch it here.
