MIKE BLOOMBERG CAMPAIGN RELEASES SUPER BOWL AD
Spot Highlights Urgent Need to Prevent Gun Violence in America
NEW YORK, NY — Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s campaign today released “George,” the ad that will air during Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, February 2. The ad features Calandrian Simpson Kemp, a mother from Texas whose son was shot and killed, and is an active member of Moms Demand Action, the grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence. In the ad, Kemp shares the story of her son George’s love of football and speaks forcefully about Mike Bloomberg’s track record of taking on the gun lobby and fighting for common-sense gun safety measures. The sixty-second ad was produced by Siegel Strategies and can be viewed here.
This week the Bloomberg campaign will share additional videos featuring survivors of gun violence from twelve states to highlight the impact gun violence has had on communities across the country. On Monday, the campaign will also launch a multi-state bus tour starting in Florida and traveling up the East Coast. The bus will make stops throughout the week in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. The first week of February is National Gun Violence Survivors Week.
“I chose to devote the entire sixty-second ad to gun safety because it matters to communities across the country and it will be a top priority for me as president,” Mike said. “Calandrian’s story is a powerful reminder of the urgency of this issue and the failure of Washington to address it. People will be rooting for different teams in the Super Bowl, but virtually all Americans — including people in both parties and a majority of gun owners — support universal background checks and other common sense gun laws.”
