Tom Steyer Challenges Trump on Economy and Vows
Immediate Action on Climate Crisis in New TV Ads
Steyer’s million-dollar ad campaign will air on local markets in three early primary states
(SAN
FRANCISCO, September 10, 2019) — Today,
presidential candidate Tom Steyer launched
a new series of broadcast ads on
the economy and
climate change. The two new ads — “Economy” and “Climate
Change
Voter” — reveal how Steyer is uniquely suited to
expose Trump as a con man on the economy and
highlight how Steyer is
the only candidate vowing to declare the climate crisis a national
emergency on day one of his presidency. The ads will
run in local markets for one week from September 10 to September 16 in
the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina.
“Donald
Trump is a con man. He got $413 million from his dad. And lost over a
billion. Now he’s doing the same thing to our
country,” Steyer stated in one of
the ads. “This election is
going to come down to the economy.
It always does. 30 years in business taught me that what
our economy needs is a clear plan and
steady leadership… I can go head-to-head with Trump — and win.”
“Climate
change is a national emergency — I’ll declare it on day one and create
millions of jobs by rebuilding America and cleaning up our
air,” Steyer said in the other ad. “Because right now we
need the truth, and some
action.”
The new ads focus
on two issues that have been at the forefront of Steyer’s platform
— the economy and the climate crisis. Steyer is
uniquely suited to
expose Trump as a fraud on the economy because
of
his successful private sector career, and believes that as the
Democratic nominee he can expose Trump’s fraudulent business practices
— which have benefited big corporations at the expense of working
families — as the same tactics he is using for the
country’s economy. Steyer also
has
the most aggressive climate plan of any presidential candidate,
including declaring a climate emergency on day one and using the
emergency powers of the White House to combat the crisis.
The new ad campaign
comes as Steyer recently
secured
a spot on the Democratic National Committee debate stage in
October by gaining his fourth qualifying on Sunday, September 8.
