Tim James has released a new campaign advertisement for his 2022 gubernatorial campaign. The 30-second spot is called “What have we done,” and emphasizes Gov. Kay Ivey’s decisions on mask mandates.

In the ad, James comments, “What have we done to our little ones? Shutdowns and masking have caused untold damage to our children. They’ve fallen behind. We’re starting to see mental health issues. Parents, you’ve been right—the whole time. Governor Ivey could have stopped this by executive order. She refused.”

James goes on to say, “Masks are a parent’s choice. It’s your decision. I’m Tim James. As Governor, I’ll stop forced masking. It’s time to fight back.”

“As Governor, Tim will never tolerate unconstitutional mandates and shutdowns. Freedom and liberty must be preserved at all costs,” James’ campaign stated. “Our children’s future is at stake, and Tim has the principle and strength of character to fight back.”
