Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, fueled by campaign contributions from more than 700,000 individual campaign contributors, plans to launch their television advertising campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire this week with a 60-second spot that highlights his biography and promises “a future to believe in.” The ad campaign will run for a full ten days.
"Thousands of Americans have come out to see Bernie speak, and we've seen a great response to his message,"said Jeff Weaver, Sanders's campaign manager. "This ad marks the next phase of this campaign. We're bringing that message directly to the voters of Iowa and New Hampshire."
Through a rapid-fire series of images, Sanders’s spots trace the rise of “the son of a Polish immigrant who grew up in a Brooklyn tenement,” touching on his tenures as mayor of Burlington and in both chambers of Congress, where he “stood up for working families and for principle.”
The ads also feature footage from his presidential rallies, some have which drawn more than 20,000 people, and pledge that Sanders will take on Wall Street reform and climate change and fight for “living wages” and tuition-free college.
