GREENSBORO, NC- State Senator and U.S. Senate Candidate Kay Hagan (D-Guilford) today began her first television ad in her race to unseat Senator Elizabeth Dole. “Roots” is a 30-second spot highlighting Kay’s deep ties to North Carolina – the family she’s raised here, the reasons she entered public service and her record of bringing the kind of change Washington needs.
The text of the ad is below:
VO: “Born in Shelby, Kay Hagan is a wife and mother who raised three children right here in North Carolina.
After building a career in business, Kay entered public service because it needed a voice like hers.
And she brought change: raising the minimum wage, expanding health care, and strengthening local schools.
But now, Washington is broken and needs the kind of change Kay represents.
A North Carolina Democrat for US Senate.”
In the past week, Kay’s campaign announced that she has raised nearly $1.4 million, with over $1 million cash on hand. The campaign also announced its statewide canvass on Saturday, April 12, and 12 Campus Captains who will help organize students at their school who are supporting Kay’s campaign.
