From Demon Sheep to a Fox's Shadow: Fred Davis Adds Touch to Mayor's Race

Political consultant and ad maker Fred Davis, who is leading a SuperPAC supporting Los Angeles mayoral candidate Kevin James, the right of center alternative in the race, debuted a new web video today that casts his opponents as foxes guarding the henhouse.

Davis is perhaps most notorious for creating Carly Fiorina's "demon sheep" against Barbara Boxer in the 2010 Senate race, but his reputation is for producing spots heavy in imagery, sometimes outlandish and often memorable.

This spot takes on Eric Garcetti, Wendy Greuel and Jan Perry as unable to stand up to employees' unions at the expense of fixing roads and boosting employment. It ends with a shadow of a fox looming over Los Angeles City Hall.
