Donald J. Trump Launches Radio Ads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina

Donald J. Trump Launches Radio Ads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina
Mr. Trump Outlines his Vision to Make America Great Again
 
(New York, NY) November 4, 2015 - Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. announced today that beginning tomorrow the campaign will release two radio ads in the states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.  The buy, valued at $300,000, is scheduled to run through the end of the month of November.
 
This ad buy is the first time the campaign has spent money on advertising.  The ads will debut on Morning Joe (MSNBC) tomorrow at 6:30am when Mr. Trump will join the show to discuss the significance of the ads and his vision to Make America Great Again.
 
Mr. Trump stated, "I am the only candidate self-funding my campaign. I can't be bought by lobbyists, donors or special interests--- the only special interest I am beholden to is the American people. Super PAC's, and the people that run them, have total control over all other candidates.  I am pleased to unveil these radio advertisements in the very important states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. I had an advertising budget of over $20 million dollars to this point. Because of the success my campaign has had, I haven't had to spend any of it. The newest poll, just out from FOX News, has me in the lead with terrific underlying numbers, especially on the economy. I am so honored to say that I have spent less money than any candidate in either party and at the same time, have the best result-#1! Despite this great success, I am now going to start advertising."
 
Also today, Mr. Trump officially filed to be on the ballot in New Hampshire at the State House in Concord with hundreds of supporters on hand. In addition to regular visits to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Mr. Trump will continue to maintain an active national travel schedule.
 
The advertisements will begin airing tomorrow and will also be available on DonaldJTrump.com

Martin O'Malley Becomes First Candidate to Submit Delegate Slate in Alabama

Martin O'Malley Becomes First Candidate to Submit Delegate Slate in Alabama  

BALTIMORE, MD - Governor Martin O'Malley is the first presidential candidate to submit his delegate slate in Alabama. Among Governor O'Malley's pledged delegates is Mrs. Sarah Collins Rudolph, a survivor of the 1963 Birmingham bombing. The following quote can be attributed to Mrs. Rudolph:

"I take my delegate commitment very seriously, and that's why I am supporting Governor O'Malley. Plenty of politicians try to make promises, but Governor O'Malley is truly a leader who's shown he has what it takes to get things done - from raising the minimum wage to ending the death penalty. He speaks to the heart of the Democratic Party that I want future generations to see."

Today, Governor O'Malley also became the first major presidential candidate to file for the New Hampshire primary ballot.

This is just one example of the excitement on the ground surrounding Governor O'Malley's candidacy and his proven track record of delivering progressive results, not just making progressive promises.
