Steyer (voiceover):
Donald Trump is just one guy.
It takes an entire village of politicians to rig the system.
That’s why we need term limits, to make Washington work for you.
Steyer (clip at Iowa Wing
Ding Dinner): “Speaking of term limits, I have six words for
you: Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley!”
When you’re in charge, we can finally deliver: health care, education,
clean air and water, and wages you can live on.
That’s the truth. Now, we need action.
I’m Tom Steyer and I approve this message.

Tom Steyer Hits
Senate Republicans in New Ad
Steyer proposes term
limits to break corporate stranglehold on
career politicians in new ad that will air in all four early
primary and caucus states
(SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, 2019) — Today,
presidential
candidate for the Democratic nomination Tom Steyer launched a
new ad calling
out
Donald
Trump
and
the
career GOP politicians who help him rig the
system for the rich and powerful. The 30-second spot
reasserts Steyer’s
call for term limits in Congress to break the stranglehold corporations
have on our democracy, the cornerstone of his campaign platform.
The new ad features
Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and Chuck Grassley, Republicans who
have enabled Trump’s lawlessness for years and are now more beholden to
corporate interests and lobbyists than to the communities they were
elected to represent. It will air in local markets in the four early
primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and
Nevada.
“Donald Trump is just one guy. It takes an
entire village of politicians to rig the system. That’s why
we need term limits, to make Washington work for
you,” Steyer said in the ad.
“When you’re in charge, we can finally deliver health care, education,
clean air and water, and wages you can live on. That’s the truth. Now,
we need action.”
Steyer initially
called for Congressional term limits when he launched his campaign. His
plan proposes a term limit of 12 total years — one that would allow
legislators in both the House and Senate to focus less on getting
re-elected and more on doing what’s right for the American people.
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. Steyer is also well on his way to making the November debate stage, already passing the donor threshold requirement and picking up his first qualifying poll yesterday.
