The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will on Thursday launch a statewide “television ad blitz” in Hawaii to support former Gov. Linda Lingle in her bid for U.S Senate, the business advocacy group told DC808.

“The Chamber’s ad highlights Linda’s belief that America’s economy will only recover when Democrats and Republicans work together,” said U.S. Chamber CEO Thomas Donohue in a statement. “In Hawaii, this means working together to promote travel and tourism in order to create jobs.”

The ad is part of a 2012 voter education campaign by the Chamber of Commerce, which is the world’s largest business federation.
