McAuliffe Campaign Releases New Radio Ad Featuring will.i.am

Today, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe released a new radio ad highlighting his support from Grammy award winning hip-hop artist and Democratic activist will.i.am. McAuliffe and will.i.am have known each other since 2004 and have worked together on many Democratic efforts.

"If you know Terry then you know how contagious his energy is, so when he asked me to join him and the Democratic party to reach out to young people, I didn't have to think twice," will.i.am says in the ad.

"Terry gets that families are struggling, that it's tough to pay for college and find a job. That's why his plan will help create thousands of jobs here in Virginia. Now I'm asking you to step up, get out and vote for terry McAuliffe on June 9th. Believe me, I know he's gonna bring the energy and I know your vote for Terry will bring the change we need to Richmond."

The ad "Step Up" will run on stations in the Richmond, and Norfolk media markets. It can be heard here.

McAuliffe Releases Response Ad Highlighting his Campaign Work on Behalf of President Obama

Today, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe released a new ad highlighting his record as an advocate for President Obama during last year's General Election campaign.

"I campaigned hard for Hillary Clinton," says McAuliffe in the ad. "But when the primaries ended I campaigned just as hard to help elect Barack Obama. My opponents know that. Brian Moran is a good democrat; so it's sad to see him use the same kind of attack politics against me that the Republicans used against President Obama."

The ad comes as a reponse to negative and misleading radio advertisements aired by the Moran campaign.

The radio ad will run on adult urban contemporary, gospel, and religious radio stations in the Norfolk and Richmond media markets. It was produced by Potomac Waves, a minority-owned and operated media consulting firm based in Washington, DC.

McAuliffe Campaign Releases New Radio Ad Highlighting Plan to Ban Predatory Lenders

Today, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe released a new ad highlighting the predatory lending problems plaguing families across the Commonwealth and his plan to ban predatory lenders.

"Every day Virginia families struggle to make ends meet and sometimes they need a small loan to get by. But some loans come at too high [of] a price because legislation that was passed in Richmond in 2002 allowed predatory payday lenders to do business in Virginia," says a female announcer in the ad. "For Terry McAuliffe the solution is simple. He is the only candidate for Governor who proposed doing the right thing - ban all predatory lending in Virginia."

The radio ad will run on adult urban contemporary, gospel, and religious radio stations in the Norfolk and Richmond media markets. It was produced by Potomac Waves, a minority-owned and operated media consulting firm based in Washington, DC.

The ad can be heard here. For more information on Terry's plan, please visit http://www.terrymcauliffe.com/issues.
