Republican congressional candidate Grant Bosse has a smaller war chest than two main primary rivals but begins a “targeted” radio ad buy today.

   The 60-second commercial makes the case this former congressional and state legislative staffer from Hillsborough offered the most comprehensive, detailed plans to cut wasteful spending and make the US more energy independent.

   It asserts he’s the only candidate who pledged to oppose unaccountable, congressional earmark spending and any increase in federal taxes.

  “He’s the only candidate fighting for smaller spending,” the ad states.

   It includes none of the direct attacks he’s lodged in recent weeks against Hudson Republican State Sen. Robert Clegg and former Nashua radio talk show host and Telegraph columnist Jennifer Horn.

    During a telephone interview Tuesday, Bosse offered no details on the extent of his buy except to say his years as a radio news reporter schooled him in which stations bring the best bang for limited bucks with three weeks until the Sept. 9 primary.
