Bloomberg Buys Ads in Illinois Congressional Race
Attacks candidate to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. over gun positions
Two candidates to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. in Congress say voters should send a message that money cannot buy the election.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's super PAC has spent more than $2 million on ads attacking former Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson over her positions on guns.
Halvorson says if the ads are successful Bloomberg will try to "buy seats" across the country. She says "we can't let that happen."
