(The Hill) – The End Citizens United PAC rolled out a $2 million ad buy in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, hitting Republican Senate nominee Mehmet Oz over his ties to New Jersey and special interests. The ad, which is titled “Fuggedaboutit,” accuses Oz of taking money from the pharmaceutical industry and refers to him as a “Jersey Oz.” “Mehmet Oz is as New Jersey as listening to Bruce Springsteen while driving on the parkway to go down to the shore. That’s exactly why he’s out-of-touch with hardworking Pennsylvanians,” Tiffany Muller, the president of End Citizens United, said in a statement to The Hill. Pennsylvania’s Senate race is slated to be one of the most closely watched races of the cycle, with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rating the race as a “toss-up.” The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Fetterman leading the race by an average of 8.7 points.
