She’s a fraud. A liar. Esther Joy King inflates her resume. Esther Joy King claimed she ran three companies, but there’s little evidence they exist. She claims to serve on the board of a nonprofit, but get this, there’s no public record, anywhere. One job she did have inflated her title, fired in less than a year. She’s a fraud. F-R-A-U-D. Esther Joy King lied every step of the way. Don’t send her to Congress. House Majority PAC is responsible for the content of this message.
Rate it a C-. Interesting approach to attack a non-incumbent with the “vote against her character” rather than attacking her ideas. Also not sure that those claims that say are fraud/lies are the ones she is making.
Anyone see the humor in the fact that her opponent is a meteorologist - a profession that is known for not facing consequences for being wrong? No? Just me?
To the Ad — I think it will do some damage throughout the 17th CD. Persuadable voters and even some GOP voters I know still don’t think she is “One of us” (meaning from the area)& are dubious of her Chicago employment record, and if she cares about them or just wants to be in Congress. That narrative has carried through from 2 years ago. It’s a B+
@SportShoz is correct it fails the “sound off” test and should have more text. But With volume on, continuing to hear F-R-A-U-D over and over will sink in to some voters’ minds, I believe.
Pretty effective, succinct, and direct hit to credibility; something that both sides’ voters are cautious about.
It’s the classic one-two punch. You have the PAC do the negative ads, and the candidate themselves run the biographical/”This is who I am and why I’m running” ads. A strategy as old as Citizens United, at least.
I give it a B. Attacking the honesty/integrity of your opponent can be effective, and this is a decent hit at King’s credibility. Not the most serious allegations, though. The ad’s production is pretty good, which helps deliver the message.

Not my district, but after looking it up, I see she’s a lawyer.
Does anyone expect lawyers to tell the truth anyway? /S
Do your research before you start believing what that ad claims. Most of it is a bunch of bunk. The one the things that are true don’t are half-truths without all the facts.

I’m tired of politicians straight up lying with no repercussions, so I’m just fine with the ad.

Solid B. Direct, no messing around with this perpetual candidate.

LOL - I love the “her website bio doesn’t say those things, so is she really saying them?” argument.

Good ad - but fails the “volume off at the bar” test. They should put some text to go with it to make the messaging stick.

Seems kind of early to start running voter suppression ads.

Those words don’t mean what you seem to think they do.
