New Hillary for America TV Ad “What He Believes”

New TV Ad: Trump and What He Believes about Women  

In the words of Maya Angelou “When people show you who they are, believe them.” Today, in advance of a speech outlining the choice for voters on women’s issues in the election, Hillary for America is releasing a new TV ad featuring Donald Trump describing, in his own words, his beliefs and actions towards women.

During this campaign, we've seen Trump dismiss women in the workplace and make jokes objectifying them. We've seen him boast about using his power to walk in on nude and often under-aged pageant contestants in the dressing room.  We've listened to him brag about sexually assaulting women, prompting his victims to come forward with horrifying stories of his abuse.  

Trump's words and deeds involving women prove he's unfit to be President of the United States. He has shown us who he is--it's time to believe him.

This ad will air on cable and in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Tim Kaine to Campaign in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona on Thursday, November 3, 2016 **Updated

UPDATED: Tim Kaine to Campaign in Phoenix and Tucson

In Phoenix, Kaine to deliver address entirely in Spanish

On Thursday, November 3, ‎ Tim Kaine will campaign in Arizona days before Election Day. 

In Phoenix, Kaine will deliver remarks entirely in Spanish -  a first for an organized campaign rally during a US presidential campaign -- about the high stakes of this election and the choice voters face. For the first time since 1996 Arizona is competitive in the presidential election due to demographic shifts and a dramatic increase in Latino voter registration. Over the last several months, Arizona has also seen strong growth in voter enthusiasm in support of Hillary Clinton's positive, inclusive vision, and her commitment from day one to listening to the concerns of the Latino community.  At the same time Arizonans have increasingly rejected Donald Trump's offensive and dangerously divisive rhetoric.

In Tucson, with one day left of in-person early vote, he will host a GOTV rally with supporters. 

With more people voting in this election than any in history, Kaine will urge Arizona voters to take advantage of in-person early voting. Voters can check their registration status and early vote location at iwillvote.com.

More details about this event will be released soon.

New Hillary for America TV Ad “Daisy”

New TV Ad: Remakes “Daisy” Ad To Show Dangers of  Trump With Nuclear Weapons

With eight days left in the election, Hillary For America is airing a new powerful testimonial ad featuring Monique Luiz, the actress from the  haunting 1964 commercial for Lyndon Johnson about the danger posed by nuclear weapons. Over the course of the campaign, Donald Trump has discussed the use of nuclear weapons recklessly, advocating nuclear proliferation and expressing disappointed incredulity that they aren't used. He has proven just how reckless he would be when it comes to these powerful weapons of mass destruction. In the new ad, Monique expresses her concern for nuclear war given Trump’s temperament and rhetoric, and urges voters to choose Hillary Clinton on November 8  because the “stakes are too high for you to stay home.”
