HICKENLOOPER FOR COLORADO

ad creative

“Hick is right to oppose BLM nominee early”

Ad copy

Trump picked an anti-environment extremist who wants to sell off our public lands to lead the BLM. I am voting NO. We stopped Trump and Republicans’ reckless plan to sell off Colorado’s land last year, and I will continue the fight to protect our public lands.

Standout elementDesaturated grayscale Trump looming behind a full-color Hickenlooper against a lush Colorado mountain backdrop — visually casting Trump as a dark threat to the landscape
TacticThe contrast between a color Hickenlooper and a grey Trump set against Colorado's natural beauty reinforces the protective-defender framing, while the GJ Sentinel news quote lends earned-media credibility to the attack.
