Bredesen ad features (identified) Republican supporters

A new ad by Democratic Senate candidate Phil Bredesen features Tennessee Republicans talking about why they are supporting him over GOP candidate Marsha Blackburn.

A recent Blackburn ad features purported former Bredesen voters when he was running for governor who now say they support the Republican, but the Bredesen campaign has denounced that spot as “using actors parroting fake lines.” The Blackburn camp insists they are real, unpaid Tennessee voters, but hasn’t identified them.

The Bredesen campaign identifies the five speakers his new spot as:

• John Finch, contractor and former Mayor of Goodlettsville.
• Sally Gracey, office manager.
• Jamie White, law student.
• Grady Gaskill, retiree.
• Tom Cigarran, entrepreneur [and Nashville Predators owner]
• Magi Curtis, public affairs professional.
