Debbie Wasserman Schultz is up with the first television campaign ad of her primary campaign against challenger Tim Canova.
“People who don’t even live in Florida, including Republicans, are spending outrageous amounts of money on personal attacks directed at me. And the attacks are just garbage,” she says to the camera in the 30-second ad.
Though Canova’s name is never mentioned, there’s no question the six-term incumbent is targeting him with her comment about outside money being used against her. A large amount of Canova’s financial support has come from outside of Florida, due to the national appeal of his campaign.
The ad also prominently mentions the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s endorsement of the former DNC chair.
“She knows the issues and can articulate them better than most,” the paper wrote. “She’s a tenacious leader unafraid to ruffle feathers. She understands the levers of power and has built important relationships with people who matter. She’s a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee and has played a major role in shaping spending and the policies that guide it. Her colleagues say she’s one of the smartest and hardest working members of Congress.”
There have been very few polls conducted on the Wasserman Schultz-Canova primary in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District, which encompasses parts of Broward and Miami-Dade counties. A Canova internal poll released two weeks ago showed Wasserman Schultz leading Canova, 46 percent to 38 percent.
Early voting begins next week. The last day to vote will be on Aug. 30.

Her corruption affects everyone from sea to shining sea. In California, I donated to Canova, who puts people before corporations.

She acts like she’s done nothing wrong. And that’s her problem. She doesn’t care about people who live in her district. She only cares about getting HRC elected. I’m voting for TIM!
