Amy Klobuchar is launching the first television ad of her presidential campaign this week in the early voting states of New Hampshire and Iowa.The 30-second ad, released to WMUR on Wednesday by the campaign, shows Klobuchar saying during the Sept. 12 Democratic presidential candidates’ debate in Houston that she is the candidate who will bring together Americans of all ideological beliefs.With visuals of Klobuchar greeting and hugging voters, marching and campaigning, she says: “If you feel stuck in the middle of the extremes in our politics and you are tired of the noise and the nonsense, you’ve got a home with me. “I am someone that tells the truth. I don’t make promises that I can’t keep. I have people’s back. And I believe that to win, you bring people with you and that is how you govern, as well.“Because I don’t want to be the president for half of America. I want to be the president for all of America.”Klobuchar’s campaign said the ad will begin airing on broadcast and cable networks in the two states this week, ahead of her 14th visit to New Hampshire on Sunday, Oct. 6. The campaign said the buy totals six figures.(Update:) Later Wednesday, details of the campaign's buy on WMUR were filed by the station with Federal Communications Commission. The contract showed the campaign is spending $187,300 on WMUR through Oct. 14. “As Amy said on the debate stage, there is far more that unites us than divides us and she’s running to be president for all of America,” said Klobuchar national campaign manager Justin Buoen.“She knows how to bring people together, she knows how to get things done and she knows how to win. Our new ad builds on the case Amy’s making to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire and underscores exactly why she’s the best candidate to not just defeat Donald Trump, but to deliver victories up and down the ballot.”View the ad here and below.Klobuchar is the fifth current or former presidential candidate to advertise on New Hampshire television, following former U.S. Rep. John Delaney, activist Tom Steyer, former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and former Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has dropped out of the race.
