Ad copy

I didn’t get into politics because I like asking supporters for money. This all started almost by accident. I never thought I’d run for office. I planned to be a special education teacher. But when I saw problems in my community, we needed someone to step up and fight for children and families on the Minneapolis School Board. I tried to recruit someone else to run, but after another failed attempt, someone told me that maybe I was the one who should do it. So I stepped up, shared a vision for her community, and earned the highest number of votes ever in that school board district. Today I’m running for the U.S. Senate with the same belief: when you see a problem, you step up and fix it. I refuse to take corporate PAC money, so this campaign is powered by grassroots supporters pitching in what they can. If you’re able, donate today to help keep building this movement.

TacticThe ad uses an intimate, unpolished selfie-video format and an origin-story narrative to build donor trust by framing fundraising as reluctant and purpose-driven rather than transactional.
