With Tom Nelson dropping out, Mandela Barnes now has the sole claim to being the only non-millionaire candidate remaining in the race for U.S. Senate. In a new 30-second ad called “Made in America,” Barnes once again promotes his working-class roots and desire to grow manufacturing jobs. “My Mom was a teacher and my Dad worked third shift” says Barnes as the spot shows him riding on a tractor around a farm. Barnes then goes on to say that he’s “tired of excuses from millionaires running the Senate” and that he’ll “bring manufacturing back here so folks like you who actually earn your paychecks finally get a fair shot.”
According to a press release from the Barnes campaign, the spot is the fourth television ad of his campaign and is part of a multi-million dollar buy being aired on broadcast, cable, and digital throughout the state.
