Democratic presidential front-runner Bernie Sanders is spotlighting Northern Nevada’s housing crisis in a new digital campaign ad.

“Evicted,” released on Wednesday, revisits the story of Brooke Noble, the Reno renter who made headlines last month after going public with a 45 percent rent hike slapped on her Midtown Reno apartment.

The roughly 2-minute video spot introduces viewers to “Tent City, Reno, Nevada,” interspersing shots of homeless residents with images of vacant lots and boarded-up hotels.

It then turns to Noble, who recounts her own experience with eviction.

“The affordable supply of housing is being bought up, lightly renovated and the rents are being doubled, tripled or even more, and the residents there just receive an eviction notice,” she tells the camera. “Our homeless population is surging and it’s not just people who are disabled or mentally ill, it’s people who have full-time jobs.

“I think they’re seeing their ability to move into homeownership kind of disappear as this money trickles up to the landlords and it doesn’t trickle down.”

The ad builds on Noble’s recent speech at a Sanders rally in downtown Reno, where she told attendees that without major government intervention, many thousands of residents would soon be priced out of their homes.

Sanders reached out to Noble after she was named in a Reno Gazette Journal investigation on rent spikes and no-cause evictions in the Biggest Little City

The longtime Independent senator from Vermont has proposed raising taxes on billionaires to help pay for thousands of new affordable housing units across the country.

Sanders, a 77-year-old self-described Democratic Socialist, landed third in a recent Monmouth University poll of likely Nevada caucusgoers.

His latest ad is running on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, according to a release from his campaign.
