IL: GOP candidate Ozinga launches TV ad touting his site "Iamnotapolitician.com"

8:36 AM

Republican Martin Ozinga, running against Dem Debbie Halvorson to replace retiring Republican Rep. Jerry Weller, has launched the first TV ad of the race.

From The Politico:
The television ad is a biographical spot featuring the candidate talking about "his enthusiasm for work and serving the community." It also highlights his unconventionally-named Web site registered to the campaign at "Iamnotapolitician.com."

The ad is running on cable television in Will, Kankakee, Grundy and LaSalle Counties. It does not mention about his professional background as president of the Ozinga Bros. concrete company where he made $478,000 last year, according to his federal financial disclosure form.
