Tom Willis Victory

Ad copy

Yes, unfortunately, this photo is real... That's Sen. Shelley Moore Capito with Nancy Pelosi. I can assure you West Virginia, I will never play for the radical Democrats. Senator Capito has voted with democrat lawmakers too many times. She voted to support 'Red Flag' Gun Confiscation, she voted with Pelosi against repealing Obamacare, she voted to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, and she voted to fund Planned Parenthood. Enough is enough. Vote Tom Willis for U.S. Senate in the upcoming Republican Primary. It's time for a change.

Standout elementbaseball bat labeled 'DEMOCRATS' overlaid on a real photo of the opponent with Nancy Pelosi, making the association visceral and literal
TacticThe ad uses a real, damaging photo of the opponent with the unpopular Nancy Pelosi combined with a sports metaphor ('batting for the wrong team') to make a RINO attack feel both factual and culturally resonant to West Virginia conservatives.
