U.S. Senate candidate Will McBride will begin airing TV ads across the state on Saturday as he tries to catch front-runner Katherine Harris in the Republican primary.
In the ad, the Orlando attorney argues that Republicans should not waste their votes on Harris, whose campaign has been plagued by one problem after another, including a federal inquiry into her relationship with a convicted briber.
"Congress is broken. Spending is out of control. Scandals dominate the news. And, unfortunately, Katherine Harris is part of the problem," McBride says in the ad. "The race for the U.S. Senate is too important and we can still win. Republicans, don't throw in the towel."
The 30-second ad, which will air on 30 channels across the state, will run up until the Sept. 5 primary.
