With less than 11 weeks to go before the midterm election, the airwaves and your mailbox will soon start showing more signs of campaign season: political ads.
NBC10 is launching a new Decision 2018 Ad Watch digital feature to track these attempts by candidates and others to get your attention -- and your vote -- in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Democrat Andy Kim’s congressional campaign is launching its first television commercial of the general election on Thursday with an ad called “Service.”
The ad, obtained by NBC10, introduces viewers to Kim as “a kid from Marlton who became a national security officer for Republican and Democratic presidents.” It uses images of both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and does not mention that Kim is a Democrat.
The commercial also does not mention Kim’s opponent in New Jersey’s third district, incumbent Republican Rep. Tom MacArthur.
In the 30-second ad, Kim repeats a pledge he has made in the past that he “won’t take corporate money.”
