In campaign news, Elizabeth Warren has issued her first TV ad in her bid to unseat Republican Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown. In the ad, Warren paints herself as a crusader against the banking industry.

Elizabeth Warren: “For years, I worked to expose how Wall Street and the big banks are crushing middle-class families. It just isn’t right. I stood up to the big banks and their army of Washington lobbyists. I worked to hold them accountable. I led the fight for a new agency to protect consumers — and we got it. But Washington is still rigged for the big guys, and that’s got to change. I’m Elizabeth Warren, and I approve this message, because I want Massachusetts families to have a level playing field.”
