Massachusetts Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez released an advertisement touting his background as the son of immigrants, surprising run to the Republican nomination, status as a political newcomer with a willingness to reach across the aisle, and accomplished career that includes being a Navy SEAL and Harvard Business School graduate.
Gomez is running in the special election against Rep. Ed Markey (D., Mass.) to replace John Kerry. The most recent polling indicates a virtual tie between the two, with Gomez showing impressive numbers among Independents and a high favorability rating overall in the traditionally blue state.
