Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kevin Nicholson has launched his first television ad of the primary, calling it a “disgrace” that Congress won’t stop illegal immigration or build a border wall.
Nicholson unveiled the ad Wednesday, shortly after the release of a Marquette University Law School poll that showed the race between him and state Sen. Leah Vukmir about even.
The ad comes after outside groups have already spent about $10 million either supporting Nicholson or knocking Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

In his new ad, Nicholson touts his experience serving as a Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq and says that “career politicians” are wasting “this moment.” He says “for America, it’s now or never.”
He does not mention Vukmir in the spot.
