Former Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville on Monday released the first television ad for his 2020 Republican U.S. Senate bid in Alabama.
The ad is similar thematically to a radio spot he released last week and is entitled, “Fighter.”
“With this new TV ad, we’re staying true to our game plan and running hard as this Republican primary enters the fourth quarter,” Tuberville said in a statement. “I’m proud that it tells voters exactly who I am – a committed Christian who fights hard for the conservative principles I believe in.”
Throughout the 30-second ad, Tuberville mentions being “a politician’s worst nightmare” and says, “I’m not look for a career. I’m looking to help save this country with Donald J. Trump.”
“God sent us Donald Trump, because God knew we were in trouble,” Tuberville adds in the spot. “I’m going to stand with President Donald Trump on building the wall.”
“We’ve got to get the swamp cleaned out,” he also notes.
Tuberville is running in a GOP primary field that also includes former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Congressman Bradley Byrne (AL-01), former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore and State Rep. Arnold Mooney (R-Indian Springs).
The primary will be held March 3. The ultimate Republican nominee will go on to face incumbent U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) in November.
The launch of Tuberville’s TV ad on Monday came the same day that he embarked on a statewide bus tour. His campaign has dubbed it, “The People vs The Swamp Bus Tour.” The tour started in Auburn. Stops for the first week of the tour can be viewed here.
