Travis Childers Airs TV Ad in Race For 1st District

Ad tells of struggles as a child, touts record of job creation



From a Press Release:

Prentiss County Chancery Clerk and businessman Travis Childers is the first Democrat to take his campaign to the television airwaves in the upcoming primary for the open seat in Mississippi's first congressional district.

Childers' campaign began airing an ad on Friday that tells the story of how he worked full-time jobs through high school and college to support his mother and sister after his father died when Childers was sixteen years old. The ad also touts Childers' economic development credentials by helping attract more than 1,000 new jobs to North Mississippi.

"We have momentum and we are moving forward to the March 11 Democratic Primary with the use of paid media to communicate our message of job creation and understanding the struggles of middle class families," Childers said. "We will use television and other forms of media to communicate with voters all the way up to Election Day."

    This ad is focused on raising name recognition for sure. It also makes him look good.

  2. That is probably a good idea chilliplow. From your other comments it is clear that you are a shill for Holland.

    Not that Holland is a bad guy, but I think whatever you say about this race should be considered attacks by the Holland campaign on Travis.

  3. I suspect he's more of an enthusiastic Holland supporter and commend him (at least I think it's a him) for holding his tongue.

    We're going to need enthusiastic people to win next month and then again in November. I'm glad you're both here.

    We're lucky to have two excellent candidates in the 1st Congressional District.

  4. A neutral observation from (let me state it now lest I incur attack) a less than neutral source:

    It appears to me that Fletcher-Rowley merely took their old script from Brandon Presley’s TV ads and replaced the words “Brandon Presley” with “Travis Childers”—same narrator too.

    That’s not to say it’s good or bad. Clearly it worked for Commissioner Presley.
