Gary's New TV Ad Outlines His Fight for Michigan Jobs & Strong Middle Class

Press Release

Gary today unveiled a new TV ad that outlines his proven track record fighting for Michigan jobs and helping to strengthen Michigan middle class. Gary recently helped successfully stop an unfair Chinese tariff on American autos.

This is Gary's sixth positive TV ad as part of his ongoing strategy to introduce himself to voters and highlight his vision for Michigan's middle class families and small businesses.

Gary continues to gain momentum in this race because he has a proven track record of fighting unfair trade practices from countries like China to help protect Michigan jobs and our middle class. Gary believes Michigan manufacturers creating jobs in Michigan should be the ones getting tax breaks, not corporations that ship their jobs to China. Michiganders continue to support Gary because of his commonsense, independent thinking, and that's what he will continue to do in the U.S. Senate.

Gary's ad campaign, which has focused introducing him to Michigan families is a stark contrast to his opponent who has almost exclusively run false, negative ads that have been overwhelmingly debunked by fact checkers. While Land has outspent Gary 2:1 and relied on $18 million from her out of state special interest allies, like the Koch Brothers, Gary leads in more than 30 recent polls.

A script for the ad follows:

Gary PETERS: I'm Gary Peters, and I've always believed you can judge a person by what they fight for. That's why I'm fighting to crack down on China. They're breaking the rules and manipulating their currency, making it harder for Michigan to compete. And companies shipping American jobs to countries like China shouldn't be getting tax breaks. That's nonsense. Tax breaks should go to companies creating jobs here at home. I approve this message because countries like China need to be held accountable. That's who I'm taking on in my fight for Michigan.
