People have complained about “politics going to the dogs” for decades, but the latest campaign ad from freshman U.S. Rep. Marie Newman in her primary bid against Rep. Sean Casten takes the phrase quite literally.

. “I’m Congresswoman Marie Newman, and unfortunately, you’re going to hear a lot of”-- a scatological reference is then bleeped --from my opponent Sean Casten,” she says as she deposits the bagged dog waste in a garbage can.Newman goes on to describe herself as a “lifelong progressive” and questions Casten’s commitment to abortion rights and universal health care. while criticizing him for accepting money from corporate political action committees.

“I approve this message because unlike Sean Casten, I’ll always fight for our progressive values,” the ad concludes.Congresswoman Marie Newman, who represents the 3rd Congressional District of Illinois, talks with supports about her stance on various issues on May 22, 2022, in Oak Brook. Representing the Democratic Party, she is running for re-election to the U.S. House to represent Illinois' 6th Congressional District.

Newman, who defeated eight-term U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, a social conservative, in the Democratic primary two years ago to win a congressional seat, is taking on Casten, a two-term congressman, for the Democratic nomination in the suburban 6th Congressional District in the June 28 primary. Newman’s LaGrange home was placed Democratic U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia’s heavily Latino district when Illinois Democrats redrew boundaries, leading her to opt to challenge Casten, who’s from Downers Grove. The redrawn 6th District stretches from Tinley Park northwest to Chicago’s McKinley Park neighborhood, and from Burbank west to Lisle and Villa Park.

Federal Election Commission reports showed Casten started last month with more than $2 million in his campaign bank account compared to $552,510 for Newman.

I think this will turn away more voters than attract them

Funniest part is she’s the real 💩 in the bag ..

The 30-second spot shows her walking her dog as it prepares to defecate. “I’m Congresswoman Marie Newman, and unfortunately, you’re going to hear a lot of”-- a scatological reference is then bleeped -- from my opponent Sean Casten,” she says in the ad.

Why should her dog be any different than the street residents of NYC, San Francisco or LA? Why shouldn’t the Mayors and Governors speak up for humanity and common sense, instead of keeping silent with “Democratic correctness” to get votes?

I'll be voting for Keith Pekau
