They've got it figured out. Let's take the seeds they planted in this fantastic ad and turn it into a nationwide call to action.

The original is about 3:30.
I assume it’s on her web site and social media outlets.
Just don’t know how many people in her district will see it though.

I was expecting a semi-ordinary ad. This had terrific transitions (I don’t know how they do that), a compelling narrative and just enough WTF moments to get people motivated.

I agree with the other posters — we need to hire this agency!

prairies, build fences, herd cattle, plant and harvest and build our country as daughters, wives and mothers of the pioneers. We are strong enough and smart enough to serve in Congress.

Good luck, Maj. Hegar. I sure hope you win.

My grandmother was a beautiful, elegant woman and a farmer's wife. She once told my sister: "We didn't wear those long dresses when we worked in the fields."

That is the untold story of America: the bravery of the women who went into the wilderness, married, gave birth and raised their children in spite of all the challenges.

Women helped make America. It's a fact. It was 50/50. Men and women. Without us women, there are no children, and there is no America.

We women deserve to have an equal say in the policies of our country. We need many more women in Congress.

She's got an uphill climb in a very red district. Great ad, though.

He won in 2016 by 22 points and won by 32 points in 2014.

This is the kind of production value I'd like to see on more Democratic ads.
It was riveting to watch. We need to keep eyes on the screen.

Just one small problem. The average Trumper/teabagger has a short attention span.

Let's hope the majority in her district aren't like that.
