The Hillary Clinton campaign is using four decades worth of footage to show her extended record on families and children in a new 60-second spot running in Iowa.

The message and voice sound familiar, although the young woman with the Coke-bottle glasses and pink blazer looks only remotely familiar. Footage from a 1979 interview of Mrs. Clinton as Arkansas’s first lady begins the commercial, saying, “One of the areas that I’ve particularly been interested in is the area of children.”

The ad then splices together public footage from throughout Mrs. Clinton’s extended career: the first lady of Arkansas, the presidential candidate’s wife, the first lady, the senator from New York, the secretary of state, all coming together in a cohesive manner, sounding almost like Mrs. Clinton’s current stump speech.

“It’s time to protect the next generation,” Mrs. Clinton as Senate candidate says from a debate stage. “Fill the lives of our children with possibility and hope,” the 2008 presidential candidate Mrs. Clinton says. “I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families and our country, and I’m not stopping now,” Mrs. Clinton says in 2015, before closing with a twist on the requisite approval line: “I’m Hillary Clinton, and I’ve always approved this message.”
