Male Announcer:
It's
true. We openly admit it. John Delaney said a dirty word in
Davenport. Then repeated it in Des Moines. And Sioux City
too. In fact he's been saying it all across the state,
unabashedly telling people he's a firm believer in, well...
Delaney:
...bipartisanship...
...bipartisanship...
...bipartisanship...
Male Announcer: It
might be a dirty word in Washington, but it seems to be awfully
refreshing [applause SFX] right
here
in
Iowa.
Delaney (voiceover):
I'm
John
Delaney
and
I
approve
this message.
Notes: Are people paying
attention at this point—two years before the caucuses and with the
midterms in progress?
Here's the Jan. 30 press release...
Delaney Begins Iowa
Television Ad Campaign with Super Bowl Spot
Delaney will make sixth campaign trip to Iowa this weekend
WASHINGTON – Congressman John K. Delaney
(MD-6) will
be
on
the
air
in
Iowa this Sunday with a Super Bowl spot. The
ad, titled “Dirty Word” will air in the Des Moines, Cedar Rapids,
Davenport and Sioux City markets and will highlight Delaney’s
bipartisan approach. The spot is the beginning of a month-long,
million dollar Iowa television buy from the Delaney campaign, that will
feature multiple ads. Delaney will make his sixth campaign trip to Iowa
this weekend.
Delaney
announced
his
campaign
in
July
with an op-ed in the Washington Post,
writing: “our government is hamstrung by excessive partisanship. We are
letting critical opportunities to improve the country pass us by. And
we are not even talking about the most important thing: the future. The
victims of this leadership failure are the good people we are sworn to
serve, and we are leaving our country ill-prepared for dramatic changes
ahead.”
In 2017, Delaney
was
named
one
of
the
World’s Greatest Leaders by Fortune for his work
in building support for a bipartisan infrastructure plan. Gov
Track
rates
Delaney
as
one
of the most bipartisan members of the House
of Representatives, currently ranking sixth amongst House Democrats
for having Republican cosponsors for his legislation and ninth amongst
all members for cosponsoring bipartisan bills.
