Delaney Airs Fourth Campaign Ad in Iowa

Delaney Airs Fourth Campaign Ad in Iowa

WASHINGTON – Congressman John K. Delaney’s fourth campaign spot began airing in Iowa last night. The 60-second ad titled “Families” shows Delaney through the years; from his time growing up in a blue-collar family to his career as a successful entrepreneur. Before being elected to Congress, Delaney founded and led two publicly-traded companies.

The spot will run in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets.

Last month, Delaney aired three ads “Dirty Word” , “Early” and “ Jobs” as part of a million-dollar, month-long Iowa television buy that began on Super Bowl Sunday. Delaney will be back in Iowa for his eighth campaign trip to the Hawkeye State the first week of April. To date, Delaney has campaigned in 41 counties in Iowa.

The ad’s script:

Voice over:

You might say family is never very far from John Delaney’s mind

The one he grew up in, the one he has now, and the ones he’s running for

All those working and middle-class families looking for someone to say,

“we see you and we won’t rest until we help you.”

John came from a working family

The son of a union electrician whose labor union scrounged up the scholarship money to send John to college

He went back every year to thank them

But thought the best way would be putting that education to good use

He did
Creating companies dedicated to helping small businesses the big banks ignored

Little guys just looking for a hand up

Once upon a time, that was him

In Congress, he never stopped fighting for them

So John will keep talking about …

Delaney:

“Jobs”

Voice over:

Because if you want to help working families, it starts there

We know it’s early,

but when it comes to helping America’s families, it’s pretty late in the day

Trump Campaign Announces Two New Appointments
Welcomes back veterans of the successful 2016 campaign

New York, NY – Today, Donald J. Trump for President announced new appointments to the campaign, welcoming back two veterans of the successful 2016 campaign.

Katrina Pierson, who served as the National Spokesperson in 2016, will re-join the Trump Campaign as a Senior Advisor. Katrina, who has recently worked with America First Policies, will lead national grassroots outreach in her new role. John McEntee, who was a personal aide to President Trump in the 2016 campaign and the White House, will also re-join the Trump Campaign as a Senior Advisor for campaign operations.

Both new members of the Trump Campaign will be based in Washington, DC, and will begin their new roles in the coming days.
“As we build out our operations for the 2018 mid-term elections and the 2020 reelection campaign, we are pleased to welcome back two outstanding members of our 2016 team,” said Brad Parscale, Trump for President Campaign Manager. “We need the help of proven leaders such as Katrina and John to promote the President’s growing portfolio of achievements across the country.”

Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer of Trump for President, said, “Katrina and John will play pivotal roles on our campaign once again as we develop a winning strategy through 2020 to Keep America Great. They will also contribute tremendously to our national engagement in the mid-term elections this year. We’re delighted to have them back on the team,” he concluded.

Full DNC Advances Efforts to Reduce the Role of Unpledged Delegates, Expand Primaries, Make Caucuses Accessible & Increase Transparency

Full DNC Advances Efforts to Reduce the Role of Unpledged Delegates, Expand Primaries, Make Caucuses Accessible & Increase Transparency

Today, the full DNC took the step of advancing the most significant reforms to the party’s presidential nominating process in decades.

At this morning’s general session, DNC members voted to accept the Rules and Bylaws Committee report that calls for reducing the influence of unpledged delegates (commonly known as ‘super delegates’ in the presidential nominating process), expanding the use of primaries, taking steps to protect the right to vote, making our caucuses more accessible, increasing transparency in our party and increasing grassroots participation. These reforms will continue to make our party more competitive in order to win in every ZIP code in 2018 and beyond.

“Today marks an important milestone in our efforts to rebuild a Democratic Party that competes and wins in every single ZIP code across the country,” said DNC Chair Tom Perez. “From the moment I decided to run for chair, I understood we had to rebuild trust with every single voter who shares our values. By accepting this report, the Democratic Party is stating loudly and clearly that the status quo will change. I want to reiterate my admiration for and full-throated endorsement of the incredible work of the Unity Reform Commission and our Rules and Bylaws Committee, whose work will guarantee that our party will be stronger, more organized and in position to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2018, 2020 and beyond. When our work is complete, our 2020 nomination process will be the most fair and transparent in the history of American presidential politics.”

The accepted Rules and Bylaws Committee report calls for:

• Reducing the influence of unpledged delegates or "super delegates" in the presidential nominating process.
• Expanding the use of primaries
• Working to achieve same-day registration and same-day party switching
• Combatting voter suppression tactics through legislation, party rules or litigation
• Making the party competitive in every state and territory
• Increasing grassroots participation
• Making the party more transparent, including in its Joint Fundraising Agreements and Memorandums of Understanding
• Strengthening inclusivity and building on the great diversity of the party
• Making caucuses inclusive, transparent and accessible

After receiving the recommendations of the Unity Reform Commission in December, the Rules and Bylaws Committee has until June 2018 to complete its work, which includes the crafting of any rules, bylaws, or charter amendments necessary to implement the major reforms agreed upon today by the full DNC. These measures will then go to the full DNC for consideration at the summer meeting.
