FALL RIVER – Today, Jake Auchincloss for Congress announced the first television buy of the race — a $29,400 cable buy. The campaign will run a 30-second spot called “A Marine’s Pledge” in the Providence media market, appearing in the South Coast of the Massachusetts Fourth district. The ad hit TV screens Tuesday morning.

“A Marine’s Pledge” highlights Auchincloss’ experience leading in crisis through his time commanding troops in Afghanistan and Panama, demonstrating his ability to lead the Massachusetts Fourth out of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The ad comes on the heels of endorsements from prominent South Coast State Representatives Pat Haddad (Speaker Pro Tempore of the House) and Carole Fiola. Auchincloss has also earned the support of State Representative Paul Schmid of Westport, along with 50+ elected officials and community leaders across the Massachusetts Fourth.

Auchincloss has prioritized equitable recovery since the beginning of the pandemic, meeting with local elected officials and community leaders across the Massachusetts Fourth to best understand their needs. Auchincloss’ plan for an equitable economic recovery centers around helping working families, providing budget relief for state and local governments, providing aid to underserved children, and propping up small businesses — and, ultimately, ensuring that “no one is left behind.” He has put forward innovative recovery policy, such as his plan for life sciences manufacturing as both a life-saver and job-creator.

TRANSCRIPT

“I’m Jake Auchincloss, a Newton city councilor, Marine Veteran, and new dad.”

“In the Marines, we said: “improvise, adapt, overcome.” These days, every family is getting things done the best way they can.”

“But Donald Trump gutting Obamacare during a pandemic, cutting education when our kids are at home — it makes no sense.”

“In Congress, I’ll make sure no one gets left behind. Because that’s also a marine’s pledge.”

“I’m Jake Auchincloss, and I approve this message.”
