Democrat Scott Murphy gets a direct plug to voters from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in a new TV ad.
The ad funded by the Murphy campaign features Gillibrand asking voters to support Murphy.
"Scott's the only candidate with proven business experience," she says in the spot.
Gillibrand fared better than any other elected official in a recent poll by the Siena Research Institute. The new senator snagged a 78 percent favorable rating in the poll released Thursday.
