Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will begin airing this presidential campaign ad in New Hampshire Thursday night, showcasing his pivotal role in unraveling a corrupt tanker procurement deal between Boeing and the Pentagon in 2003.

Two Boeing officials went to jail and Air Force Secretary James Roche resigned as a result of the scandal.

The ad shows McCain’s involvement as evidence that the senator will fight corruption and wasteful government spending if elected president.
