Hey there, it’s Elissa Slotkin. I’m here in Colorado with my friend John Hickenlooper because this is a seat we must defend if we’re going to have any shot at taking back the Senate. If you’re fed up with Trump and Washington Republicans selling you out – raising your cost of living to hand permanent tax cuts to the wealthiest few – then I need you to chip in to John’s re-election campaign today. Together, we can protect this seat and flip the Senate.

Standout elementElissa Slotkin delivering a direct-to-camera testimonial endorsement as a surrogate to boost Hickenlooper's fundraising credibility
TacticThe ad leverages a peer-to-peer surrogate appeal tactic — using Slotkin's credibility as a fellow Democrat to frame the race as a high-stakes Senate control battle, while channeling economic populist anger at Republicans to drive donations.
