Here's the third Craig Johnson for State Senate TV commercial. Jimmy Siegel directed the ad; see his first two ads for the Johnson campaign here and here. In the ad, titled "How to Save," five accountants from the Seventh Senate District take O'Connell to task for her record of raising taxes.

The ad features Certified Public Accountants Ellyn Sosin and Lenny Kreigel of New Hyde Park, Mitch Beckerman of Great Neck, Larry Greenstein of Port Washington and Accountant Stephen Goodman of Great Neck.

Here's the full script:

TITLE: "How to Save"
TEXT:
Here's what you need to know to save on taxes this year.
Maureen O'Connell voted to raise taxes and fees over 80 times--a product of the same Republican machine that almost brought Nassau County to its knees.
It might have happened, if Craig Johnson hadn't jumped in, working with Tom Suozzi to create a remarkable financial turnaround.
Bringing Nassau back to fiscal health.
So, on February 6, you can vote for someone who raises taxes--
Or, vote for someone who will lower them.
SUPER: Vote Craig Johnson for State Senate.
Special Election, February 6th.

6 days until Election Day!

I could use some help (4.00 / 1)

with the GOTV sign up form. If you've got a sec, take a look at the page and let me know in the comments if there's a way to make it easier to read or more compelling or easier to sign up or any of that other good stuff.

it looks great (4.00 / 1)

except, it is not obvious at first that is in backwards order from Tuesday - election day.
You might want to reverse the order so you have people sign up for the earliest days they can help... And make have tuesday listed as election day too.

Will it be possible for those outside (0.00 / 0)

of Long Island to help down the final stretch, i.e. a virtual phone bank?

I'd love there to be (0.00 / 0)

but I haven't heard of one.

What I've heard is all the phone calls that will need to get made are covered. What the campaign needs is boots on the ground in the district to knock on doors.

How far outside of Long Island are you?

Way outside (0.00 / 0)

I'll actually be in DC for a few months before heading back to NY. I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and watch the results come in.
