Democrats hit New Hampshire with ad touting Obama’s new jobs plan
The Democratic National Committee today launched a new ad campaign supporting President Obama’s jobs plan in several key states, including New Hampshire.
The DNC is aiming to rally popular support for the plan, and potentially drive Congress to act on it.
The 30-second TV ad shows a clip of President Obama’s Sept. 8 speech where he states, “The next election is 14 months away. And the people who sent us here, the people who hired us to work for them, they don’t have the luxury of waiting 14 months.’’ As Obama speaks about the difficulties facing people living paycheck to paycheck, the ad flashes a message urging people to read the president’s jobs plan, fight for it, and pass it. The DNC campaign also includes two different web ads.
In addition, the DNC launched a new website that provides information on the plan including fact sheets about how the plan helps women, Latinos, African Americans, and low-income families – all key Democratic constituencies.
The TV ads will air in key voting states, including the early presidential primary states of New Hampshire, Iowa and Nevada; the capital area of Washington, D.C., and Virginia; and in the swing states of Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, and Ohio. The DNC effort comes as Obama is making a strong push to get his plan passed a divided Congress. Obama unveiled the bill today, and is scheduled to talk about the plan this week in Ohio and North Carolina.
The DNC is not saying how much money it is spending on the ad buy, only that the campaign will last several weeks and the ads may rotate in and out. The online ads will be placed on Facebook, YouTube, Hulu, Pandora, Huffington Post, local news, and networks, according to the DNC.
