On Wednesday and Thursday, the campaign consulting firm working for Thompson took out a half-page ad in the Cherokee Tribune to bring attention to Laughridge’s Feb. 21 DUI arrest and to accuse him of trying to buy the election by personally loaning his campaign $100,000.
The Laughridge campaign swung back with a full-page ad in Thursday’s Cherokee Tribune, accusing Thompson’s campaign of stooping to a “new low” by running the ad, which showed the mug shot from Laughridge’s arrest and the Georgia State Patrol incident report.
Thompson said Wednesday he hadn’t seen the anti-Laughridge ad before it ran, but he wasn’t opposed to the content, because the information was factual. Laughridge, though, defended himself and noted he hadn’t been to court yet and he believed the DUI charge would be dropped.
