Deval for All To Air New Ad In New Hampshire During CNN Debate
New ad, “American Dream,” gives New Hampshire voters a look at Governor Patrick’s life and professional experience

MANCHESTER, NH - During tomorrow night’s debate, Deval Patrick’s campaign for president will air a new 30-second ad on CNN. The ad will offer New Hampshire voters an overview of Governor Patrick’s life and professional experience. This ad placement comes on the heels of the campaign’s announcement of its six-figure ad buy last week. The ad will continue to run in New Hampshire after the debate.

“There’s no frontrunner in this race, and our campaign continues to build momentum in New Hampshire as other campaigns have started to wind down,” Campaign Manager Abe Rakov said. “As more voters hear Deval’s story, they are convinced that he’s the candidate with the life and leadership experience to defeat Donald Trump and renew the American Dream for everyone, everywhere.”

Entitled “American Dream” the 30-second spot was shot in Boston and Governor Patrick’s hometown, on the South Side of Chicago. In the ad, Governor Patrick tells the story of his experience living the American dream. “I've led the Civil Rights division in the US Department of Justice, worked to make businesses more fair and socially responsible, and delivered first in the nation results as the only Democrat elected Governor of Massachusetts in 30 years. I'm living my American Dream, and I'm running for president to be sure you get to live yours,” Governor Patrick says in the ad. In closing the ad, he says, “I approve this message because where other candidates have ideas, I have results.”

Mike Bloomberg TV Ad “Whole New Level”

Virginia Tech Shooting Survivor Says Mike Bloomberg Will Take the Gun Safety Movement to a “Whole New Level” as President in New Campaign Ad

Bloomberg Started a National Gun Safety Movement that Saved Lives and Changed Laws

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — In a new campaign ad released today, Virginia Tech shooting survivor Colin Goddard says Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is a leader in the national gun safety movement and will take on the NRA when he gets to the White House. Goddard survived the 2007 shooting in which a gunman killed 32 people on Virginia Tech’s campus in Blacksburg, Virginia.

“Having a fighter like Mike in the White House on gun violence, particularly that can take on the NRA and is not afraid to do that, will take the movement for gun safety to a whole new level,” Goddard said in the ad airing on TV in Virginia.

Bloomberg co-founded Everytown for Gun Safety, the biggest coalition of Americans fighting for common-sense gun safety laws. He has spent millions to elect candidates who will fight for gun safety legislation in Congress and state legislatures across the country.

“Mike understands the reality of this issue because he’s had to be at those hospital bedsides — making those calls, trying to console the families and say there’s something better we can do,” Goddard said.

Bloomberg is visiting Richmond, Virginia, today, marking his third trip to the Commonwealth State since launching his national campaign to defeat Trump. Virginia will hold its primary on Super Tuesday.

During the 2019 Virginia state election, Bloomberg backed 16 successful Democratic candidates who championed gun safety, and he helped Democrats win control of the Virginia Legislature for the first time in 26 years.

Pete Buttigieg for America Announces Four New Ads Across Four Early States

Pete for America Announces Four New Ads Across Four Early States

SOUTH BEND, IN –– Today, Pete for America announced four new ads across Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina ahead of the first caucuses in February.

The four, 30-second ads, set to run across all four states, highlight how Pete will be the president who, on that first day the sun comes up in this country and Donald Trump is no longer President, will work to heal our country’s divides and restore decency and respect to public life.

He will work on the urgent issues that Trump has made worse: getting health care costs down, building an economy that actually values work, tackling climate change, and ending gun violence.

These significant, on-going investments in early states demonstrate our campaign’s momentum heading into Iowa and beyond that first contest. Pete for America was one of the first campaigns to run television ads in Nevada and South Carolina and has already invested $2 million in paid media ahead of the South Carolina primary to continue to introduce voters to Pete in the Palmetto State.

Watch the newest ad “Windshield,” airing in Iowa, HERE.

Read the ad’s full transcript below:

Workers have to work multiple jobs just to hold onto what they’ve got. While corporations making billions of dollars are paying zero in taxes.

I am running to be a president for the guy who’s up early scraping the windshield on his way to the first of his jobs.

For the single mom who is at work keeping an eye on the clock because when her kids are out of school she is worried about whether they’re going to be okay.

That’s why I am running for president.

I’m Pete Buttigieg and I approve this message.

Watch “Only Way,” airing in New Hampshire, HERE.

Read the ad’s full transcript below:

As a veteran, and as a mayor, I've seen what we can achieve when we have each other's backs.

But in today's divided America, we're at each other's throats.

Our rivers and oceans are rising.

Health care costs are soaring, and our kids are learning active shooter drills before they learn to read.

To meet these challenges and to defeat this president, we need real solutions, not more polarization.

I'm Pete Buttigieg, and I approve this message because acting together to conquer these challenges is the only way forward.

Watch “Ready,” airing in Nevada, HERE.

Read the ad’s full transcript below:

We need ideas big enough to meet this moment.

We oughta unify Americans around these solutions or nothing will actually get done.

Medicare for All Who Want It can work in a way that creates that public alternative, gets everybody covered, but unlike the Medicare for All Plan, it doesn’t dictate that to the American people and risk further polarizing them.

Let every American have the choice to walk away from the corporate, private plan but when they’re ready.

That is the way forward.

I’m Pete Buttigieg and I approve this message.

Watch “Heart,” airing Wednesday in South Carolina, HERE.

Read the ad’s full transcript below:

I’m Pete Buttigieg and I approve this message.

Dawn: Manufacturing companies, when they shut down the workforce shuts down.

Michael: The homes were dilapidated and falling and crumbling.

Gladys: I met Pete when he was running for Mayor. What I saw was that he was accessible.

Marilyn: He listened to our community. Mayor Pete is lightyears ahead of some people that have been in politics for many, many years.

Michael: He has a heart for our city and I think he will show the same heart for our country.

Judge Judy Endorses Mike Bloomberg, Saying He Will be a ‘Truly Great President’

Judge Judy Endorses Mike Bloomberg, Saying He Will be a ‘Truly Great President’

New TV Ad Released Today Features Judge Judy Saying: ‘No One Comes Close to Mike Bloomberg’s Executive Achievement, Government Experience and Impactful Philanthropy’

New York, New York — Today, Judge Judy Sheindlin, in a new TV ad, endorses Mike Bloomberg for president, touting his executive and government experience as what is needed to unite the country and lead us through challenging times.

“I like to say you can judge someone’s character by what they’ve done. Mike Bloomberg has done amazing things and will be a truly great president,” said Sheindlin, whose highly-rated TV program is celebrating 24 years on air this year. “No one comes close to Mike Bloomberg’s executive achievement, government experience and impactful philanthropy.”

The “Judge Him” ad featuring the popular TV judge will be running across digital channels and in relevant broadcast programming across 26 states.
Sheindlin, who has never before endorsed a presidential candidate, was outspoken in her support of Mike even before he decided to run, having penned an op-ed in USA Today urging him to seek the presidency and pledging support for his campaign.

“We’re hopelessly divided, and a bitterly divided family cannot thrive. The only way we can begin to come together again, I said, is if Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, becomes our next president,” said Sheindlin in her piece. “I realize I am taking a personal and a career risk in making such a statement. I have carefully stayed away from politics for 50 years, except to vote. But times have changed in our country, and I believe the moment has come for me to step out from behind the curtain.”

A native of New York City, Judge Sheindlin is the former Supervising Judge of the Family Court in New York County, the author of five books and the founder of Her Honor Mentoring, now in its 13th year.

The ads will begin airing immediately on television and digital platforms in the first four states. The buy is part of an effort to introduce the vast number of undecided voters in the early states to a candidate with a proven track record of delivering results for his constituents.

Following Strongest Fundraising Quarter Yet, ‘What It Takes’ Begins Airing Today

‘What It Takes’ Transcript:

AMY KLOBUCHAR: He’ll do everything he can to hold on to power, but I’ll take the fight to Donald Trump. 

I’ve won in rural, urban, and suburban areas every time. Even districts Donald Trump won.

Whether it’s passing 100 laws or standing up to partisan Supreme Court nominees, I’ve always known that you do a job no matter how hard it is. 

Because it’s the work that needs to get done. 

Our job now is to elect someone who will fix the mess that Donald Trump created and take on the challenges facing America. Like the high costs of prescription drugs, rebuilding our infrastructure, and tackling climate change. 

If you feel stuck in the middle of the extremes in our politics and you’re tired of the noise and the nonsense, you’ve got a home with me. 

I’m Amy Klobuchar. 

I don’t want to be the President for half of America, I want to be the President for all of America. That’s why I approve this message. 

Cory Booker 2020 Launches Six-Figure Iowa TV Buy with New 60 Second Spot “He Will Win”

Cory 2020 Launches Six-Figure Iowa TV Buy with New 60 Second Spot

“The call of this election is the call to unite in common cause and common purpose… as your president, that’s how I will move us forward together.”

Newark, NJ — Cory 2020 will launch a six-figure TV ad buy in Iowa today with a new, 60 second spot that tells the story of Cory Booker’s career-long record of success in building uncommon coalitions. Cory has built these coalitions and brought people together in order to take on the biggest challenges in our country — challenges that have left too many people and too many communities behind.

The ad reminds Iowa caucus-goers that Cory is the Democrat who will help Americans recognize our common pain, ignite our spirit of common purpose, and mobilize a coalition big enough to defeat Donald Trump in November.

The ad calls back to Cory’s years taking on and beating the Newark political machine and his Senate record bridging partisan divides in order to pass major legislation. It uses excerpts from remarks Cory has made throughout this presidential campaign — and his career. It will begin airing in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids media markets on Monday, December 30th.

The spot, titled “He Will Win”, can be viewed HERE.



The 60 second ad was produced by WIN, an innovative firm that takes political media and communication outside the standard confines of politics as usual. The WIN team working with Cory 2020 is comprised of strategic veterans Rick Fromberg and Rania Batrice and Chief Creative Officer Matt McLaughlin.

Below is a transcript of the spot:

There’s a spirit in this country that is so powerful.

The spirit of the people who are willing to live every day in pursuit of the dreams that do not yet exist in this country.

It’s a story of people constantly demonstrating to be the best of what it means to be an American.

In Newark there are many heroes to hold onto. People who humble me because they have found a way to have unyielding faith.

We face perilous times. The question is, will we show that same level of courage?

The call of this election is the call to unite in common cause and common purpose, because we know that our fates are united, that we have a common destiny.

And as your president, that’s how I will move us forward together.

I’m Cory Booker and I approve this message.

Michael Bennet for America Makes First TV Buy in New Hampshire

Bennet for America Makes First TV Buy in New Hampshire With Ad Showing How Michael Bennet Is the Opposite of Trump

MANCHESTER, NH — Bennet for America today launched its first television ad in New Hampshire as part of its integrated strategy to introduce Michael Bennet to the voters who are just now tuning into the race. The ad — “Opposite of Trump” — makes clear why Bennet is the best person to beat Donald Trump and lead the country forward.

Last week, the campaign announced it needs to raise $700,000 by January 16th to have the resources to compete in New Hampshire, including for the launch of this ad. Today, it made public that because it has hit $165,000 of its goal, it is immediately investing $60,000 in a week-long TV buy in the Granite State and an expanded digital campaign. The campaign will increase its ad buy over the coming weeks as it continues to raise, and intends to reach a six-figure buy.

“Voters are asking one question in this election: Who can beat Donald Trump?” said Bennet for America spokesperson Shannon Beckham. “To beat Trump, we need the opposite of Trump, and Michael represents that in every way. People who are exhausted by the daily circus in the White House are looking for a candidate who will return things back to normal and start to make progress for their families. When Granite Staters meet Michael, they walk away believing he is the leader we need to make that change, and this ad will ensure even more people see why he is the best candidate to take on Trump.”

Earlier this month, Bennet announced his commitment to hold 50 town halls in New Hampshire during the final 10 weeks before the First in the Nation primary. With his tally at 21 town halls since then, Bennet is now tied for #1 among Democrats in New Hampshire Public Radio’s tracker of events. Bennet will return to the Granite State for a seven-day trip starting December 30, including hosting the first event of 2020 at 12:01 AM on January 1st. The campaign has also announced new endorsements, including Paul LeBlanc, president of Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), and State Reps. Joyce Fulweiler and Marjorie Smith.

Watch the ad here.

 

Read a transcript of the ad below.

To beat Donald Trump, we need the opposite of Donald Trump. That’s what I am.

Trump has divided our country like no other president. I’ll unite the country, and we’ll fix it together.

Trump’s the first president to take health care away from millions. I have a plan to cover everyone in three years and lower costs, without bankrupting the system.

Trump is a pathological liar. I’ll tell you the truth, even when it’s hard.

Trump doesn’t care about your kids or mine. Every decision I make is for the kids I served as superintendent of the Denver Public Schools. I’ll wake up every morning thinking about you and your family, and how to make your lives better.

So if you want a president who’s focused on the next generation, and not just the next tweet, then give me a look. I’m Michael Bennet, and I’m running for president.
