West Virginia Senate Majority Leader Mitch Carmichael sent a “cease and desist” letter to area radio stations Monday, demanding that they stop airing political attack ads that accuse Carmichael of defending a Jackson County man convicted of sexually abusing children.
A union-backed political group called West Virginia Family Values is spending $77,000 on mailers and radio ads in an attempt to oust Carmichael.
The radio ads, which aim to link Carmichael, R-Jackson, to a convicted “pedophile,” started airing in Charleston, Ripley and Ravenswood late last week.
“It’s just so despicable,” Carmichael said Monday.
West Virginia Family Values defended its political ads targeting Carmichael. The group released a transcript Monday of Carmichael’s testimony on behalf of the sex offender.
