Gary's Final TV Ad Highlights Stories from Michigan Women

Press Release

Gary today unveiled his final TV ad highlighting some of the many stories he's heard from Michiganders and outlining how he will continue fighting for Michigan middle class families.

This is Gary's seventh positive TV ad to introduce himself to Michiganders and share his vision to make Michigan's middle class and economic future strong again. For more than a year, Gary has been traveling across Michigan on a listening tour to hear directly from Michigan middle class families, small business owners, seniors, and veterans.

Gary made listening to Michiganders the focus of his campaign, and he has been traveling all over the state to hear directly from Michigan families about the issues they talk about around their kitchen tables. The stories he hears from Michiganders are what guide his fight to make sure that anyone who works hard and plays by the rules can earn a fair shot to find a good job to support their family and retire with dignity. As Michigan's next U.S. Senator, Gary will continue to be the independent voice Michigan middle class families can trust.

Gary's ads contrast strongly from Republican Terri Lynn Land's almost exclusively false, negative ads that have been debunked by fact checkers and media outlets. Despite Land outspending Gary 2:1 on TV with her false attacks and teaming up with out of state special interests, like the Koch Brothers, to spend over $18 million to buy this Senate seat, Gary has led in all recent polls.

A script for the ad follows:

GARY: Over the years, I have met many heroic women. I will never forget the one woman I met on a city bus one cold morning. She had just worked all night long, and was going to spend three hours on a bus going to and from work, and another three hours getting her daughters to and from school. She had little time to sleep, and no time to herself. She told me she dreamed only of giving her daughters a better life. I have also met many moms struggling to take care of their aging parents while raising their own children, and I even met a courageous woman who saved her family's small trucking company from bankruptcy. Those stories are with me and everything that I do. Our middle class is heroic. We sacrifice so that our children's lives can be a little better than our own. I approve this message because that idea should be at the heart of everything that we do. I'm Gary Peters, and I'm running for the U.S. Senate.
