The Capuano for US Senate Campaign is airing a radio commercial featuring Congressman Barney Frank in which Frank speaks candidly about Congressman Capuano’s experience, values and passion to get things done for the people of Massachusetts.

In the commercial, Frank states “If you are like me, you are worrying a lot about what is going to happen in the U.S. Senate when we get to health care again, climate change, and financial reform. That’s the main reason why I’m supporting Mike Capuano for the Senate.”

Frank highlights Mike’s knowledge of the business of legislating and his refusal to play politics with his values and principles- “I know that he’s tough enough to do the right thing and smart enough to know how to do it. We need someone like him in the Senate, not just to vote right but to be the kind of effective fighter that will break through that log jam.”

Frank, himself never one to mince words, also talks about Mike’s passion when confronted by injustice, ignorance or the intractability of Washington saying, “I will be honest with you, maybe more than you usually hear on a political ad and say I don’t think I will send him on a delicate diplomatic mission, but when it comes to somebody who has commitment and knowledge to break that log jam that has bogged down so much important legislation in the Senate, Mike Capuano is the standout and standup guy.”

Frank closes by asking voters to “join me in voting for him in the Primary on December 8th.”
