Here they go.

The career politicians in this race are doing what they do best: attack.

It’s not a surprise, since politicians have learned to get elected by attacking each other. But that’s not the kind of campaign I want to run – because it’s not who I am – and I don’t think it’s what we need in America right now if we really want to get Americans back to work.

We need jobs, elected officials who have created jobs and leaders with real plans to create jobs. And we need to attack our problems, not each other.

Join our rapid response team.

When you see or hear an attack, fight back with the facts. Share the facts below with your friends, neighbors and colleagues.

Together, we can win our campaign to create middle-class jobs and economic opportunity that benefits everyone.

False Attack: Stacey attacked for doing her job as board chair

The FactsTweet

Stacey was an investor and board chair of Chelsey Henry, Inc., a company that designed women’s handbags and travel accessories, and donated a portion of their proceeds to women’s causes. Like many small businesses, Chelsey Henry struggled to stay afloat during the Great Recession and ultimately ended up selling its brand and assets to its largest creditor, who continues to develop the brand today.

The board’s job is oversight – and that’s exactly what Stacey and the board did. When they discovered that the company was timely filing tax returns but falling behind on the payments, Stacey and the board intervened to get the company on a payment plan that was approved by the I.R.S.
