A new political advertisement for State Senator Bill Beagle, R-Tipp City, shows him shooting clay pigeons as as voice intones a litany of what is wrong with Washington D.C.
Beagle is one of 15 Republicans, one Democrat and one Green Party candidate on the March 15 primary ballot to replace retired House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., in the 8th Congressional District.
In the add Beagle fires the gun and the clay pigeons explode as the voice says Washington has failed to keep American's safe, failed to protect gun rights, failed to control spending. The voice says Beagle is the "conservative choice."

Tim Derickson, R-Hanover Twp., Scott George of Monroe Twp. in Miami County, Eric Haemmerle of West Chester Twp., Terri King of Middletown, Joseph Matvey of West Chester Twp., Edward Meer of West Chester Twp., John Robbins of Monroe, Michael Smith of Germantown, James Spurlino of Washington Twp., Kevin White of New Carlisle, J.D.
