EXCLUSIVE: Kanjorski going on the air Tuesday

Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-11) will take his renomination pitch to the airwaves Tuesday, exactly two weeks before primary voters head to the polls.

Kanjorski’s first ad is a 30-second spot that highlights his support for extending unemployment benefits. In the ad, an out-of-work Scranton resident says that “Congressman Kanjorski helped me and thousands of others.”

A person familiar with the ad buy told pa2010.com that the ad is set to saturate broadcast TV in the northeast Pennsylvania district, and will also air on local cable.

Kanjorski is facing a primary challenge from Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien, who first went on the air with a relatively small ad buy back in January. Republican Lou Barletta is gearing up to take on Kanjorski for the third time in eight years.

See the ad below.
