The best political ad of the season

Posted

Gerald Daugherty is trying to get re-elected in Travis County Texas. Why then has his one-minute political ad been attracting national attention?

Just watch:

In the one minute video, Daugherty talks about transportation issues, the commuter rail, jail overcrowding, and tax rates.

Daugherty’s wife, Charlyn, explains that he “doesn’t really have any hobbies” and just thinks about civic life and problem-solving all day long while he’s puttering around the house. “Please re-elect Gerald,” she concludes. “Please.”

It’s nice to see a political ad that is clever, upbeat and positive during a significantly gloomy era in American politics. And one that does not even mention his opponent.
