In first TV ad, VT gubernatorial candidate hitches himself to Bernie
What Bernie Sanders started, we need to finish, Dunne begins the ad. This campaign is about making Bernies vision a reality right here in Vermont.
In October, Dunne became the first of the gubernatorial candidates to endorse Sanders presidential campaign. In a blog post announcing his endorsement, Dunne praised Bernies blunt honesty, ability to engage young people, and his clear understanding of the needs of our state.
The Dunne ad focuses primarily on his rejection of corporate campaign donations. In March, after taking in more than $16,000 in corporate money, Dunne returned it all and vowed to reject the money in the future.
In the ad, Dunne repeats the progressive refrain that Corporations are not people before promising to ban corporate money as his first act as governor.
Dunnes campaign made a six-figure ad buy to broadcast this spot and others statewide in the runup to the Aug. 9 primary.
