In a new ad similar in style to her previous ad on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's support for Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare budget, Kentucky Secretary of State and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Alison Lundergan Grimes is taking aim at McConnell's statement earlier this year that creating jobs isn't one of his jobs.

The ad features unemployed coal miner David Stanley who asks McConnell:



Mr. McConnell, in the last two years, we’ve lost almost half of our coal jobs in Eastern Kentucky. Why’d you say it’s not your job to bring jobs to Kentucky?

According to Associated Press, the ad will run statewide.

As with the earlier ad, the spot is not simply about attacking McConnell: It also seeks to define Grimes as being the true Kentuckian in the race and as someone who will be a champion for the state in the U.S. Senate. And as you can from the ad, that's a message Grimes is capable of carrying herself, unlike Mitch McConnell, who almost certainly will appear in far fewer of his ads than Grimes will in hers.
