Robach Fires Back At Dollinger In New Ad

October
7

Sen. Joseph Robach, R-Greece, Monroe County, takes the gloves off in a new ad against his Democratic opponent Richard Dollinger.

The ad says Dollinger is a “hypocrite” and spent 10 years in the Senate without proposing one bill to help the upstate economy.

With two women talking in a kitchen, the ad starts by them turning off Dollinger’s attack ad and saying “So many attack ads. I know. Richard Dollinger is running such a negative, untruthful campaign. There’s a reason why: His record.

“Ten year in Albany and he didn’t write a single law to create jobs, fix our upstate economy, improve health care or lower property taxes.

“And now he attacks? What a hyprocrite. That’s just wrong.”

It ends, “He’s running a relentlessly negative campaign. We can’t afford Richard Dollinger again. Choose people, not politics.”

Robach has knocked Dollinger for his initial attack ads, and now is firing back as Dollinger tries to change the tone of his own campaign to focus more on his own agenda.

Here’s Robach’s ad:
