New ads for incumbent governor Kay Ivey and candidate Tim James were released this week, with both campaigns highlighting what they see as critical topics for Alabama.
James released the first ad of his campaign. In the 30-second spot, titled “Fight Back,” he highlights his ideas on American society, describing Democrats as ‘left-wing bigots’ and arguing that Democrats want to ‘destroy our country.’
“We’ve reached a tipping point,” James said in a statement. “We will turn back to our Judeo-Christian values or be ruled by some form of godless Marxism that controls every aspect of our lives under the yoke of fear and intimidation.”
James says in the ad, “It’s time to wake up. The secular left wants to destroy our country. They want to tear it down. They think America is evil. They think America is racist.
“They think our Founding Fathers were wrong. They think there are 50 genders, and they want to teach this crap to our children. And if you disagree with these left-wing bigots, they’ll cancel you. They’ll get you fired from your job.
“I’m Tim James. It’s time to fight back.
Ivey’s reelection campaign released its second TV advertisement, with the governor pushing back against the Biden administration’s progressive policies. Ivey said, “Washington wants to control everything we do, but that isn’t happening here in Alabama.”
In a statement to Yellowhammer News, campaign manager William Califf stated, “The liberal Democrats running Washington D.C. aren’t happy with controlling the federal government alone; they want to control what happens in states like Alabama as well. Kay Ivey is a fighter who works every day to protect the people of this state from the Biden regime’s un-American, un-Alabamian approach towards government. Governor Ivey will continue to defend Alabama’s conservative values and work to make this state a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
The ad transcript is as follows:
Ivey: “Washington wants to control everything we do, but that isn’t happening here in Alabama. We do not teach hate to our kids. We do not pay people to quit work. And we do not use tax dollars to kill our babies.
Speaker: “Kay Ivey, Alabama’s Trump tough conservative governor. Fighting Joe Biden every step of the way.”
Ivey: “Alabama is working again, but Washington? Better not hold your breath.”
