Rate the new Sen. Joyce cable ad

Posted in:

* Appointed Sen. Patrick Joyce (D-Essex) is in a four-way primary. This cable ad is running in the south suburban, Kankakee and Frankfort zones, I’m told

He looks so much like his dad, former Sen. Jerry Joyce, who was my state Senator when I was a kid.

* Script

Her name was Katelyn and she fought so hard, but when leukemia finally took my daughter, our world fell apart.

When she was fighting for her life the boxes of medical bills just kept stacking up.

In the state senate, I’ve made fighting for affordable healthcare and prescription drugs my mission.

Healthcare is a right for all of us. And I’ll never let Trump, or anyone, end coverage for pre-existing conditions or hurt one more family.

  1. YouTube changed its controls and I accidentally posted it while it was still private. Works now.

  2. Ha, our posts crossed.

    Now, seeing the visuals, I don’t know about that big smile as he’s saying “hurt one more family”. It’s a somber message, and his face should reflect that.

  6. A-. Strong personal story, reflects the diversity of the primary electorate and hits Trump which is effective.

  7. It’s a A-,

    It’s personal, he tells a story, he explains his mission, it’s simple without being too simple

    Music a tad loud, couple cutaways are just off to the script.

    Really strong effort and ad.

    A-

  10. Good ad for a Dem primary, can they use in the general?
    What were Trump’s numbers in that district?

  11. Maybe a C-. Emotional plea, pulling on heart-strings. But, what does a State Senator have to do with Medicare, my prescription drug plan, or the President? False Advertising?
