PORTLAND – Democratic Senate candidate Tom Allen is pledging to denounce any attack ads placed by a third party that personally target Republican incumbent Susan Collins.
Allen said at a news conference in Portland on Monday that his campaign has “no place for the politics of personal destruction” and that he hopes third party groups limit their ads to positive messages about candidates they support.
Allen said that because his campaign is barred from having any contact with such groups, he decided to go public with his request that they refrain from attack ads against his opponent.
He brushed aside a question about why he didn’t denounce a heavily funded third party ad campaign against Collins last summer, saying his campaign was just getting organized at that time.
