New Sanders TV Ads: We Need
Real Political Change in Chicago
and
America
CHICAGO
–
Bernie Sanders’ campaign released three new 30-second television
commercial in Illinois on Friday. One features Cook County Commissioner
Jesús (Chuy) García, a recent candidate for mayor. Another ad
features Troy LaRaviere, a Chicago public schools principal.
The ads call for major political changes in Chicago.
“People in this community badly want and need a fair shot,”
the
commissioner says. “For too long, politicians haven’t quite stood up
for them. Bernie Sanders is about giving everyone an opportunity to do
better. This is a year for transformative change. If you are beholden
to bad money, you will not be a transformative leader.”
In the second ad, the principal says, “In Chicago, we have
endured a
corrupt political system. And the chief politician standing in the way
of us getting good schools is our mayor. If you have a presidential
candidate that supports someone like our mayor, you have a candidate
who is not willing to take on the establishment,” says LaRaviere.
“Bernie Sanders is definitely not afraid to take on the system. He
looks beyond that system and sees better possibilities for us. He sees
that this is not the way it has to be.”
In December, Sanders called for "any official who helped
suppress
the
videotape of Laquan McDonald's murder [to] be held accountable." As a
candidate, Sanders has made criminal justice reform a key issue in his
campaign.
As a college student at the University of Chicago, Sanders
was a
leader
of the Congress for Racial Equality. In 1963, he was arrested while
participating in protests to desegregate public schools in Chicago.
"The fight against injustice and inequality has been the work of his
life," the narrator says in the third ad entitled "Work of His Life."
