Congressional Leadership Fund, a center-right super PAC, released its first television advertisements of the 2014 cycle on Friday.

The buy is very small — only “four figures,” according to an aide with the super PAC.

Versions of the spot will air in New York and Florida, criticizing Democratic Reps. Sean Patrick Maloney in New York’s 18th District and Joe Garcia in Florida’s 26th District.

The Maloney version:

The Garcia version:

The spot targets women on financial issues one day after the House approved a fiscal 2014 plan from Budget Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis. In the ad, a mother is forced to make tough decisions to meet her family’s household expenses and a narrator argues that government ought to do the same.
