Causey Airs First TV Ad, Vows To Protect Social Security

JONESBORO – Jonesboro-native and First District Congressional Candidate Chad Causey released his first television spot, focusing on his pledge to protect Social Security and ensure that hard-earned benefits are maintained for Arkansas seniors. The spot comes on the same day that President Bill Clinton campaigns in Arkansas in support of Causey’s candidacy.

            “I am honored to have the support of President Clinton and ready to provide strong leadership to the people of the 1st District,” Causey said. “Arkansans from across our District deserve leadership that will get to work for them – fighting to create jobs right here in Arkansas, bring fiscal conservatism to Washington, and protect Social Security and Medicare. I’m ready to bring our Arkansas values to Washington and get the job done for Arkansas families in the 1st District.”

            In the spot, Causey describes his Arkansas upbringing and highlights his commitment to protecting Social Security. The spot can be found here, and the text of the ad follows below:

 “Growing up in a single parent household, I was close to my grandfather, a World War II veteran. I’m Chad Causey. In Congress, I will honor his generation by always protecting Social Security and Medicare, but Rick Crawford doesn’t get it. Crawford wants to privatize Social Security – rolling the dice – risking Social Security on Wall Street and the stock market. Rick Crawford is just wrong. I’m Chad Causey and I approve this message.”

 Crawford’s support to privatize Social Security can be found here. The spot for Chad Causey airs across the First District starting today.
