As much as I abhor Hayes, I have to say that this is a valid attack. All too often in campaigns, candidates and campaign managers will pay their workers less than minimum wage with no benefits and no job security. It's not uncommon for campaign to take on young staff as contractors indefinitely to avoid paying social security, FICA, and other taxes.

It's disgusting to treat workers that way and I think that if you're going to talk the talk of workers rights and social justice, you should start with your own campaign. It's wrong of Kissell to not pay his campaign's fair share of taxes and reflects poorly on him and his campaign.

With that said, Hayes is an offensive human being who has nothing to run on and that's why he's lobbing attacks in June. This one's going to be nasty.

Hope he can come up with better ads because this one smells of desperation and it's only June.

Go Robin Hayes!

After a decade of trashing America with an indefensible policies, the best he can do is trash his honorable opponent with typical Republican sleaze.

Gotta love ol' Flipper.

An ad by U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes attacks Democratic rival Larry Kissell over the payment of payroll taxes to his campaign workers.
