DesJarlais site strikes back at Tracy

NASHVILLE — Republican Jim Tracy begins airing his first television ad in the 4th Congressional District campaign today with a spot that describes him as a “conservative” with “integrity” while delivering a veiled criticism of his GOP primary opponent, U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais.
“Growing up, my family didn’t have a lot of money,” Tracy says in the 30-second spot which was to begin running on Chattanooga broadcast television and cable stations in a $21,977 week-long buy.
“But my dad,” Tracy adds, “he gave me a good name. I protected my good name and handed it down. Integrity isn’t just the main thing. It’s the only thing. Too many congressmen are short on integrity and that’s how our nation got in this mess. To stop the Obama agenda, we as Republicans have got to clean up our own house first and start fresh.”
Tracy, a state senator from Shelbyville, is running against DesJarlais, a South Pittsburg physician.
