Wesley Hunt US Inactive

Hunt for Senate

ad creative

Ad copy

John Cornyn on CBS: “If only the most RADICAL people show up in the primary… then that’s going to be a challenge.” Senator, Texans are not radical. We’re freedom-loving. God-fearing. Patriots. We believe in secure borders. We believe in law and order. We believe in faith, family, and the Constitution. If that’s “radical” to you, then maybe YOU’RE the problem. You’re not in trouble because Texans are extreme. You’re in trouble because after 24 years in office, you’ve lost touch with the people you’re supposed to represent. And your contempt for the voters of Texas is exactly why your career is coming to an end.

Standout elementA dimly lit, unflattering video still of incumbent Senator John Cornyn paired with his own quoted words used against him
TacticThe ad weaponizes Cornyn's own CBS quote to frame him as contemptuous of everyday Texans, then pivots to patriotic values to position Hunt as the authentic conservative alternative.
