Tillis Ad: Hagan Voted For Stimulus, Personally Benefited

[WEEKLYSTANDARD] A new ad from Republican Senate candidate Thom Tillis of North Carolina targets his Democratic opponent, Kay Hagan
...Niece of former senator and Florida governor Lawton Chiles, married to a transaction lawyer, who has a net worth between $10.7 million and $40 million. He is a former Democrat ward heeler, which explains a lot. She defeated the listless Elizabeth Dole in 2008...
, for voting for the federal stimulus bill that awarded a grant to a company owned by Hagan's husband.

"Days after Kay Hagan took office, she pushed Obama's stimulus bill," says the ad's voiceover. "Grants tucked away in Obama's stimulus paid the Hagans. She's 96 percent for Obama, 100 percent for herself."

Hagan's conflict of interest was first reported by the Carolina Journal, a publication of the conservative John Locke Foundation in Raleigh. The Journal noted Hagan's husband's company revised down their stimulus project's cost but did not return the difference to the federal government.

The first-term Democrat leads Tillis, the state house speaker, by just 1.4 points in the Real Clear Politics average of polls. The two candidates are locked in what may be the closest Senate fight of the midterm elections.
