Veteran, mother, Texan. I am running for Congress in Texas District 31 because now, more than ever, we must protect the progress we've made in our country

(10,899 posts)The original is about 3:30.
I assume its on her web site and social media outlets.
Just dont know how many people in her district will see it though.

(14,351 posts)I was expecting a semi-ordinary ad. This had terrific transitions (I dont 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!

(2,868 posts)I also love the background music. It sound's like the riff from Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones. I hope she continues to kick ass!

(3,515 posts)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.

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

(108,523 posts)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.
