Bernie Sanders 2016 TV Ad "Sons of New York"

New Bernie Sanders Ad Features FDR

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Ahead of Tuesday’s primary election in the Empire State, Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign on Saturday released a powerful new ad featuring President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

“Even when the deck is stacked, a New Yorker will find a way to break up big banks, create millions of jobs and rebuild America,” the narrator says over archival footage of the 32nd president.

During a visit on Tuesday to his historic Hudson River Valley home, Sanders said President Roosevelt “created a government that stands up for working people, the poor and the sick.”

“Some say it can’t be done again,” the ad continues. “But another native son of New York is ready: Bernie. Rebuild the middle class, make Wall Street banks pay their fair share, give every child a chance.”

"New York: it's our time again to build a future to believe in," the ad concludes.

Hillary Clinton 2016 TV Ad "Came Through"

New Ad Highlights Clinton's Support for Bronx's Eagle Academy
 
Brooklyn, NY - Following Hillary Clinton's debate victory last night in New York City where she outlined her record of getting results for New Yorkers, Hillary for America released a new television ad today highlighting Clinton's work to help start the Eagle Academy, a public school for young African American men in the Bronx.

"The kind of leader who I think the country really needs is somebody who believes in people, cares about people, will fight for people," Eagle Academy Principal David Banks says in the ad. "For me and what I've known about Hillary Clinton, she's as good as it gets."

The ad, Came Through, features the story of Alonzo Sanchez who graduated from the Eagle Academy. "With her you get results," Alonzo's mother, Kelly Sanchez says of Clinton. "People talk about doing stuff and you never see the results. Especially people like us, the neighborhoods that people seem to forget about. The politicians can come through the neighborhoods and they can shake our hands, but when it comes down to it, that stuff that they promised us, they never come through with. Hillary was one of the few that came through the neighborhood, came into our schools, and actually came through with what she promised to do."
 
Came Through is running in the New York City media market and features the principal, a student, and a parent from Eagle Academy. As a senator, Clinton worked with the New York Chapter of 100 Black Men, elected officials and local leaders, to establish the Eagle Academy in the Bronx. There are now six public Eagle Academies with UFT union teachers that serve more than 2,000 scholars in all five boroughs of New York City and Newark, New Jersey.

Bernie Sanders 2016 TV Ad "$27"

Bernie Sanders Ad to Run Opposite Clinton Fundraiser in California 

BURLINGTON, Vt. – Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign on Friday released a new ad that will run this weekend in California during Secretary Hillary Clinton’s high dollar fundraisers in the state.

The Sanders ad, called “$27,” focuses on the average contribution to the senator’s grassroots campaign. Clinton is asking donors to raise $353,400 to get a seat next to her at the head table during two California fundraisers.

“If you can’t afford to attend tonight’s event with Secretary Clinton, we invite you to join Bernie’s fundraiser for the low price of turning on your television,” said Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager.

Sanders’ spot, his first in the state, will run tonight in San Francisco and tomorrow in Los Angeles at approximately 8pm PST, just as Secretary Clinton’s wealthy donors are sitting down for dinner.
