The newest ad from Teresa Hensley’s (D) 2016 campaign for Attorney General:

The Attorney General’s job is to protect Missouri’s most vulnerable. Teresa Hensley understands that. And so do the people she’s fought for.

She prosecuted the man who broke into my house and attacked me.

There was five prosecutions in my grandfather’s murder and she got five convictions.

Teresa was protecting me, but she was also protecting every woman in Missouri.

She told us how it was gonna go and that’s exactly how it went.

Teresa is the only one I trust as Missouri’s Attorney General.

Teresa Hensley, a prosecutor for Attorney General.

Teresa Hensley’s (D) 2016 Attorney General campaign has released her first general election ad:

Teresa Hensley (D): As prosecutor I’ve fought for Missourians who needed a voice. [Teresa Hensley, Former Cass County Prosecutor] The Attorney General’s job is to protect our most vulnerable. I’m the one candidate who’s done that.

Announcer: Teresa Hensley, twenty-four years in a courtroom. Over ninety child sex abuse convictions. Twenty-one murder cases, Twenty-one convictions. And Teresa Hensley is endorsed by Missouri’s FOP.

Teresa Hensley (D): I’m the only candidate with a record of seeking justice above politics. [Teresa Hensley, A Prosecutor for Attorney General] That’s the job. And why I’m asking to serve as your Attorney General.

Jason Kander (D) – Warrensburg – August 14, 2016.

Jason Kander’s (D) U.S. Senate campaign released an ad today titled “Background Checks”:

[Jason Kander][wearing a blindfold, disassembled rifle]

Jason Kander (D): [assembling rifle] I’m Jason Kander and Senator Blunt has been attacking me on guns. Well, in the Army I learned how to use and respect my rifle. In Afghanistan I’d volunteer to be an extra gun in a convoy of unarmored SUVs. And in the state legislature I supported Second Amendment rights. I also believe in background checks so that terrorists can’t get their hands on one of these. I approve this message [assembled rifle, removes blindfold] because I’d like to see Senator Blunt do this.

[Jason Kander for U.S. Senate]

[Paid for by Missourians for Kander, Approved by Jason Kander]

Devastating.

This ad was made possible by an environment where the republican gubernatorial nominee, Eric Greitens (also a veteran) ran ads of himself firing a minigun and shooting at an exploding target. This ad is probably the one Eric Greitens (r) should have run.

There is a difference – Jason Kander definitely knows guns, he also knows he doesn’t have to expend ammunition to make his point.

Jason Kander’s (D) campaign has been running an ad discussing Roy Blunt’s Washington, D.C. record.

Jason Kander (D): I’m Jason Kander and I approve this message.

Announcer: Is Washington working for your family? After twenty years there it’s working great for Roy Blunt’s family. Senator Blunt voted to raise his own pay twelve times. He lives in a one point six million dollar D.C. Mansion. And his wife and three of his children are all lobbyists. When asked about the conflict of interest, Blunt said:

Roy Blunt: I, I, I don’t even understand why that would be a question.

Announcer: There is no question. Missouri needs a new senator.

[Paid for by DSCC and Missourians for Kander. Approved by Jason Kander.]

Ouch.

Jason Kander (D) – Warrensburg – August 14, 2016 (August 15, 2016)

Jason Kander’s (D) first U.S. Senate race broadcast television ad is up:

Jason Kander (D): This is what Afghanistan looks like when you’re an extra gun in an unarmored SUV. I’m Jason Kander. I enlisted after nine eleven and was an Army intelligence officer rooting out corruption in the Afghan government.

When I came home I worked to reform state government, saved tax dollars as Secretary of State, now I’m running for Senate and I approve this message because there are too many politicians in Washington who only care about themselves.

We need more leaders willing to sacrifice for their country.

– Morgan Freeman.

An ad from Hillary Clinton’s (D) campaign, running in South Carolina:

Hillary Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

Morgan Freeman: Her church taught her to do all the good you can for all the people you can for as long as you can. After law school she could have joined a high priced law firm. But instead, she worked to reform juvenile justice in South Carolina, exposed racism in Alabama schools, registered Latino voters in Texas, and provided legal aid to families in Arkansas. Her life’s work has been about breaking barriers and so would her presidency. Which is why for every American who’s not being paid what they’re worth, who’s held back by student debt or a system tilted against them, and there are far too many of you, she understands that our country can’t reach its potential unless we all do. Together, a stronger country.

Just think about the ads the republican candidates are running in South Carolina right now. Yep, there is a difference.
