Republican super PAC spending $650K vs. Adler in NJ 3
Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
A Republican super PAC dedicated to saving the party's House majority is launching a TV ad Monday against Democrat Shelley Adler in the 3rd Congressional District of New Jersey.
The Congressional Leadership Fund says it is spending about $650,000 on broadcast time in the Philadelphia market to hit Adler for voting to approve tax increases as a Cherry Hill councilwoman.
She is challenging first-term Republican Rep. Jon Runyan.
The move comes even though national Democrats earlier this month canceled $2.6 million worth of ads for their challengers in the region, including Adler, as well as Kathy Boockvar, Manan Trivedi and George Badey in Pennsylvania.
That decision by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has been interpreted as an acknowledgement that Runyan, as well as Reps. Michael Fitzpatrick, Jim Gerlach and Patrick Meehan are favored in those races.
The Adler spot uses video from the Burlington County Times editorial board meeting, in which s he appeared not to recall having voted to raise taxes.
"Voters will remember in November," said Brook Hougesen, a spokeswoman for the CLF, a group founded last year by former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman and Republican power broker Fred Malek.
CLF reserved $1.6 million in Philadelphia air time in July.

Romney's a Crook!- To — sharkymachine -- you need to read more. Try the Wall Street Journal, for example. Of course, that's assuming you have an open mind. Obama's admin was warned of trouble at Solyndra. They did rush through loans. And there are other green companies having serious problems, also recipients of favored Dem donors. Why would you give more money to a government that is going to bankrupt you? Have they proven worthy managers? Really?— mmds
- Why waste the money?
The knuckle dragger Runyan will most likey win because he played football as an Eagle - not for any original ideas.
Lower taxes - less regulation . ooga ooga , i played football , vote 4 me. gotta feed the goats.
what a moron— sng302 - runyan looks like 1 of his farm goats kicked him in the face— Argos
- Adler down by 15 in the polls. This aint Camden County and Willingboro can't swing it this time.— UTR
