$200,000 for Ed Tinsley
The National Restaurant Association Political Action Committee is spending $200,000 in the final week before the June 3 primary on TV and radio ads promoting the candidacy of 2nd Congressional District Republican candidate Ed Tinsley.
The independent expenditure further ups the ante in a GOP primary race that has already seen the National Association of Realtors’ PAC spend almost $1 million to promote the candidacy of Tinsley opponent Monty Newman and every candidate help self-finance his own campaign.
The restaurant group’s expenditure, according to the FEC’s Web site, went entirely to a Washington group, Wilson Research Strategies. Though I’ve not seen or heard the ads, sources say the group is running radio and television ads throughout the district.
Tinsley was chairman of the board of the restaurant association from May 2006 to May 2007.
