rss feedSome of the people praising Republican Senate candidate Bob Corker for the job he did as mayor of Chattanooga in TV ads don't live in that city.
"We're from Chattanooga," one woman says in the commercial, as the camera pans across a group of about 60 people.
The Corker campaign confirmed Wednesday that not all those people live in Chattanooga or voted for Corker when he was elected mayor in 2001.
The most recent ad, which began airing Friday, praises Corker for lowering the city's property taxes and crime rate. A similar ad, featuring the same people, ran before the Republican primary in August.
"Bob was a great mayor, the best Chattanooga ever had. We live in Chattanooga - we know," several people say in the earlier ad.
