More ads than you can shake a stick at: Rauner, Ruiz, Rotering, Quigley, Proft and Clark

Friday, Feb 16, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Gov. Rauner’s new 30-second TV ad

* Script

Announcer: Mike Madigan. He loves taxes and he absolutely hates Bruce Rauner. Rauner vetoed the Madigan income tax increase. And now, Rauner’s leading the charge to reverse it. The Rauner Plan: More take-home pay for working families; lower taxes for job creators; and one billion dollars in tax relief for Illinois.

Gov. Rauner: I’ve fought Mike Madigan at every turn because giving him total control means disaster for Illinois.

Announcer: Reverse the Madigan tax hike. Vote Rauner.

* Meanwhile, on to the AG’s race…

Democratic Illinois Attorney General candidate Jesse Ruiz is releasing his first Primary election ad set to hit the airwaves next week.

The 30-second ad features Jesse Ruiz in Washington Park and Little Village, as well as downtown Chicago, talking about his background and the importance of fighting corruption and protecting educational opportunities.

“I am running for Attorney General to protect the American Dream, which is under attack. We need to level the playing field in order to protect working families of Illinois,” said Ruiz. “I want to be the people’s lawyer and their champion. This is what I’ll do as their Attorney General.”

* The ad

* Script

“When you’re the son of Mexican immigrants from Chicago’s south side, you fight hard for your opportunities, and for many, like it did for me, opportunities start with a good education. So when I ran Chicago’s public schools and corruption was threatening our kids, I fought back and stopped it. I’m Jesse Ruiz and as your Attorney General, I’ll fight corruption and abuse no matter where it comes from, even from Donald Trump.”

* Press release…

Highland Park - Attorney General Candidate Nancy Rotering releases video urging legislators to take action to prevent mass shootings.

“It is no longer enough to say ‘enough.’ As recently as last week, I asked again for the help of every legislator in the State of Illinois to fix an arbitrary time constraint that was thrust upon municipalities in 2013. As a Mayor, I led the charge to ban assault weapons and stood up to the NRA in an effort to reduce the risk of a mass shooting. By passing legislation, the members of the General Assembly can provide Illinois municipalities the opportunity to protect their communities as permitted under the US Constitution.

The number of lives lost and affected keeps growing and still no action from those we elected to protect us. The families in Newtown, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, and now Parkland, FL didn’t believe they had “assault weapon” problems. Even if we save just one life, it is worth it to allow every town, village, and city to decide whether or not to limit these weapons that enable mass murder. We need an advocate speaking for all of us. That’s why I am running for Illinois Attorney General. I already am that advocate.”

* The video

* I’m told Congressman Mike Quigley’s campaign is putting $300,000 behind his first TV ad despite this November polling…

Total Quigley - 72%
Total Mustafa - 6%
Total Wolf - 8%
Undecided - 14%

Why spend the money? “We don’t take anything for granted and we’re going to make sure we get as close to that total as possible,” a campaign official responded.

Here you go

* Dan Proft sent me this ad for Chris Miller (no relation that I know of), who is hoping to replace retiring GOP Rep. Reggie Phillips. His four daughters formed a quartet and are featured in the spot

They’re pretty darned good.

* Bernie

There are no primary races for the 95th House District seat, so Democratic challenger DILLON CLARK of Litchfield will be taking on incumbent Rep. AVERY BOURNE, R-Raymond, in November.

But Clark, a member of the Montgomery County Board, has been taking to social media with some corny, and some eye-catching, videos to get his name known.

“I hate the cookie-cutter commercials that everybody does,” he says.

In one video, he’s on a tractor that rolls into view.

“Tired of Springfield not listening?” he says, as he tosses an ear of corn over his shoulder. “You’ll always have my ear.”

* Here’s that Facebook spot…

    Dillon Clark is an amateur. Mathis was their best shot against bourne and Clark has no clue what he’s doing. Doubt Dems give him a dime.


  2. - Anon324 - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:20 pm:

    A Rauner ad that targets Mike Madigan. Never saw that coming.


  3. - Rich Miller - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:20 pm:

    ===Dillon Clark is an amateur===

    OK, but I still like his FB ad.


  4. - Small town taxpayer - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:30 pm:

    The Rauner ad fails to mention his proposed pension cost shift to school districts. He mentions the state tax relief but fails to mention that the pension cost shift will probably increase property taxes.


  5. - DuPage - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:41 pm:

    It’s going to be a very good year for TV ad revenues.


  6. - Anonymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:45 pm:

    Aside from the fact you may not like his politics, the parents of those talented girls have a right to be extremely proud. What it took in terms of time/moola for that quartet to that level of proficiency is remarkable.


  7. - The Way I See It - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:46 pm:

    I like Clark’s ad, but I like his slogan, “A New Hope” even better. That was the name of the original Star Wars movie. “Episode IV: A New Hope”


  8. - Anonymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:55 pm:

    Rotering’s ties to Madigan and the money she took from ComEd and other utilities tanked her campaign. It’s too bad, she could have been a good candidate some day.


  9. - SaulGoodman - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 1:59 pm:

    **Rotering’s ties to Madigan and the money she took from ComEd and other utilities tanked her campaign. It’s too bad, she could have been a good candidate some day.**

    Is that you Scott Drury? First, no voters know about that. Second, Pat Quinn is likely tanking everyone’s AG Campaign, not random inside baseball.

    But I’d wager Nancy finishes higher than Drury…


  10. - Anonymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 2:01 pm:

    Help me obi Dillon clark. You’re my only hope.


  11. - King Louis XVI - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 2:02 pm:

    -“Tired of Springfield not listening?” he says, as he tosses an ear of corn over his shoulder. “You’ll always have my ear.”-

    Love that.


  12. - Anon0091 - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 2:03 pm:

    Yea, don’t agree on Nancy at all. Also that Ruiz ad is kind of cool when the kid becomes Jesse.


  13. - Arsenal - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 2:15 pm:

    Re: Quigley: When you’ve got the money, might as well spend it. Donors like to see their money going to something, and consultants want to get paid.


  14. - morningstar - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 2:33 pm:

    Chris Miller’s daughters are lovely and talented. But isn’t an ad like that a wasted opportunity in terms of media capital? But then again, this is the 110th District, which has not see a real contest for so long that we have forgotten what it is.


  15. - Joliet oldie - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 2:39 pm:

    Rotering has been useless as Mayor of Highland Park. She’s out of her league running for IL AG. We have enough incompetence in elected officials, we don’t need another.


  16. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 3:09 pm:

    I guarantee you, and I’d be surprised if they even acknowledge my existence, if they thought about me, it wouldn’t be too great.

    But, it’s bad form…

    … leave both Aaron and Avery alone, I wish them nothing but happiness.


  17. - Moe Berg - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 3:11 pm:

    Ruiz is bragging about being in charge of CPS? He thinks that is going to help him?


  18. - Retired Educator - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 3:11 pm:

    I live in the district, and have met Dillon Clark several times. He is a nice young man, with a good sense of humor. He also seems to really care about the area. I think he would do well. I like the hokey commercial. I wish him well.


  19. - Rich Miller - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 3:15 pm:

    ===I wish them nothing but happiness===

    The same and that idiotic commenter has been banned for life. And if I find out who it is (and I think I might know), then that person is gonna get a visit from me.


  20. - Responsa - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 5:00 pm:

    “Change the tune in Springfield” (Chris Miller ad)

    Such a lovely thought and what a wonderful way to emphasize it.
