Fullerton, CA – Josh Newman, candidate for the California State Senate, released the following statement in response to an attack ad being run on television by his opponent, Assemblymember Ling Ling Chang:
“Ling Ling Chang’s most recent television ad takes gross liberties with the truth and embodies pretty much everything that people detest about politics today. This particular ad represents a new low, even for someone with a well-documented history of purveying untruths about herself and exaggerating her thin record as a member of the Assembly. Despite the massive amounts spent so far on her campaign to move up to the State Senate, Ling Ling has proven herself little more than a desperate politician with declining poll numbers. It’s become all too clear at this point that she and her handlers are more than fine with saying or doing anything in order to get elected, even if that entails a reckless disregard for facts and the truth, and a convenient jettisoning of what most people would consider a minimum level of integrity and decency.”
The TV spot, which Chang’s campaign began airing last week, makes the false claim that during his time working for the Mayor of San Francisco in one of his first jobs following completion of his military service more than 20 years ago, Newman “stole the Mayor’s letterhead” and “stole confidential police records”. In fact, Newman did no such thing, and there’s absolutely no basis in fact to substantiate either of these maliciously false assertions. Both statements are completely untrue and constitute willful distortions of more complicated yet innocuous past events which even the most cursory level of due diligence would have shown (for a more complete explanation of the facts at issue, go to http://newmanforsenate.com/lies-etc/).
Aggressive attack mailers parroting the misleading claims of the Chang TV ad have also been sent to voters in recent days by the California Chamber of Commerce’s Political Action Committee as part of an ostensible “independent expenditure.” In total, Chang’s campaign has benefited from more than $1 million in outside spending to date, much of which has directed toward defaming Newman’s character through a combination of political caricaturing, innuendo, and outright lies.

Tht Lying Lying Chang is a real piece of work.
Ling Ling, please tell us. Where were you born? When did you become a citizen?
Did you ever get that degree in biology from UCR? Did you ever get that degree from Harvard?
Did you even graduate high school?
And what about all those phony “jobs.” Have you ever actually held a full time job before you became a State employee?
The funniest thing about the sack of shit Gilliard is that he ran the campaign against Ding-a-Ling in 2014 and hit her about all her life story fabrications.

Priceless
I thought that commercial was a parody of a campaign ad when I saw it. Like in that movie, “The Campaign”. That voice over! “He said underpants. TWICE.” I rewound it and called someone into the room to watch it again. Hahaha. I am giggling just thinking about it. That was really something!
Now, the underpants count is up to FOUR!
Ling Ling, liar liar, pants on fire! Be careful.
We got THREE DIFFERENT Lying Ling-Ling attack ads on Josh in the mail JUST TODAY… and when I sign onto my AOL there are the same ads there! She is not slowing down at all. It’s all the same two bogus stories from his SF days, trying to make him look creepy.
