In a 30-second spot, Lightfoot appears with the mayors of Atlanta, San Francisco, Charlotte, Washington, D.C. and New Orleans addressing Black women, because they’ve “always been on the front lines of social justice.”

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is appearing alongside 12 other Black mayors in new TV and digital ads that will begin airing over the weekend for Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris, targeting African American voters in key battleground states.
And Chicago’s mayor gets to deliver one of the cool punchlines.
In one 30-second spot for the Democratic presidential ticket, Lightfoot appears with the mayors of Atlanta, San Francisco, Charlotte, Washington, D.C. and New Orleans addressing Black women, who have “always been on the front lines of social justice.”
They “organize,” Mayor Vi Lyles of Charlotte, North Carolina, says.
They “make phone calls,” Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser says.
“All while being fly,” Lightfoot adds, after a shot of her in shades.
In a separate, 30-second ad, seven Black male mayors urge African American men to vote for the former vice president and California senator. The Biden campaign is also airing an ad of the two 30-second spots fused together for a separate, minute-long ad.
The ads are not slated to air in Illinois, but they will appear in 16 other states on TV and cable, as well as digital platforms. Those states are Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
It’s not the first time Democratic presidential nominee has tapped Chicago’s rookie mayor.
In June, Lightfoot participated in a virtual roundtable the Biden campaign held after a white Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, a Black man.
She also took part in a panel focusing on race and social justice during the first night of the Democratic National Convention in August.

ReplyDeleteThe reason they won't air the ad in Illinois is because we get a good laugh everyday from Lightfoot.
ReplyDeleteSo the next time the radicals hit downtown or the Mag Mile, and she decides to concern herself with Bobby Rush's popcorn supply, and has the police superintendent cancel more days off and initiate 12 hours shifts for the Chicago Police who are still without a contract, the city with a budget hole wider than the inbound and outbound Dan Ryan, just think of the mayor in her "rona buster" costume, or her census cowboy hat, and her parading her EFF U attitude on CNN. Then ask yourself if this is someone who has any clue about leading the City and protecting our neighborhoods. Geez, talk about buyers remorse.
ReplyDeleteMore reason to vote for the opposition
ReplyDeleteM K ULTRA comes to mind. its like a machine programmed to piss everyone off. even children see it remembering the "you go home" youth. and meanwhile chicago sinks into the abyss. chicago is almost like looking at all the fallen angels set up their coven. with its dumbo trinity TP KF LL. that being said VOTE NO on jelly bellys fair tax. vote o'brien and willie wilson in. more years of foxx and durbin is a death nell
