Weston Wamp and Chuck Fleischmann.Your satellite dish might get hundreds of cable channels — or maybe you’re content with ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.
Either way, get ready for the blitz — two 3rd Congressional District candidates plan to inhabit your TV starting this week.
U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann plans to hit districtwide airwaves today with radio and television advertisements that tell a humble-beginnings tale as he attempts to beat six challengers for his seat.
One of those challengers, 25-year-old Weston Wamp, said he’ll begin “a very positive media campaign” Thursday with a week of network and cable television ads. Like Fleischmann, he plans to reach all 11 counties in the 3rd District, which includes the Knoxville and Chattanooga media markets.
Advisers for both men said they have enough campaign cash to run more ads up to the Aug. 2 primary.
