He stated, "Every legislator's [Sacramento area] residence is close to the Capitol. My residential costs up here are much greater than the average legislator because my family is here. "^[7] However, Ose's campaign commercials argued McClintock does not own or rent in home in the 19th district, but uses his mother's address.

Ose also ran campaign commercials accusing McClintock of being a carpetbagger. In United States history carpetbaggers was the term southerners gave to northerners who moved to the South during Reconstruction, between 1865 and 1877 [2]
