Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

February 5, 2008
Ose adds ads

Doug Ose will hit the air waves next week in an advertising blitz introducing himself to 4th Congressional District voters, spokesman Doug Elmets said Tuesday.

The Sacramento Republican and former 4th Congressional District congressman announced last week that he was running for the seat being vacated by Rep. John Doolittle, whose role in the ongoing Jack Abramoff investigation is sending him into early retirement.

Ose faces former state Sen. Rico Oller, R-San Andreas, and national security consultant Eric Egland, R-Roseville, in the June primary. Ose starts the campaign with nearly $500,000 remaining in his 1998 campaign coffers, and Elmets said the campaign will begin spending it next week.

The two-week advertising campaign will include one-minute radio spots throughout the district and 30-second television ads. In addition, every registered Republican in the district will receive a campaign mailer.
