In an interview with News 3, Democratic Congressman Chet Edwards made an offer to Republican candidate Van Taylor to end the negative political ad campaigning.
"I would offer to Mr. Taylor to take down all of our television ads and from here forward, run nothing but positive ads about what we're going to do for this country, and what we believe we can do, positively, for our district," Edwards said.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Taylor's campaign manager, Casey Phillips, made the following statement:
"To me, this offer really reminds me of a school yard bully backing down from a fight once someone holds their ground against them. This guy has made a living of tearing his opponents apart, and he's got more than he can handle on his hands right now. The people of Central Texas deserve to know his voting record."
In response, Edwards expressed his disappointment, and said voters now know who insists on running negative ads.
There is a difference in mud slinging and just being a thug. Taylor is a thug.
