A super PAC supporting Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign released a new digital ad targeting voters in the “SEC primary,” including Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. “SEC” is a reference to the collegiate Southeastern Conference’s prominence in NCAA football.
The SEC primary will take place within Super Tuesday’s 12 state nominating contests on March 1. In advance of the Christmas holiday, Cruz is stumping through several of the March 1 nominating states.
The new ad from Keep the Promise I focuses on the message that the Texas senator “is someone you can trust.” The ad features several Cruz supporters explaining why they have settled on Cruz before the ad closes with the senator exclaiming, “When I tell you I’m gonna do something, I’m gonna do exactly what I said I would do.”
“Twenty-fifteen has been a rebuke of the insiders, the Establishment, the professional political class that keeps forcing on us candidates that either win and betray us or don’t win at all. This election season, voters are seeking out a candidate they can trust to move our country in the right direction, improve our standing in the world, and protect our lives and our freedoms. That man is Sen. Ted Cruz,” said Kellyanne Conway, president of Keep the Promise I, in a statement. “The world is a dangerous place. Freedom, religion and democracy are under siege. Political correctness is ‘killing us’.”
The super PAC claims the ad is part of a six-figure ad campaign, which will also focus the ad on the four early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. Cruz ranks first in the Washington Examiner‘s newest GOP presidential power rankings.
