Randy Perkins is out with two new advertisements, including one focused on the area’s water woes.
The Treasure Coast Democrat released the advertisements Wednesday. Both are running in the West Palm Beach media market.
The first advertisement — a 30-second spot called “Action” — highlights the frustration Treasure Coast residents are feeling over water quality issues and toxic algae blooms. Perkins uses the spot to highlight his background in disaster recovery, and says he will take action to solve the area’s problems.
“All talking has done is destroy our environment, our quality of life, and it’s killing our businesses along the Treasure Coast,” he says in the advertisement as he stands in front of algae-covered water. “I’ve been managing major disaster recovery projects in this country for over 20 years. I’m a problem solver, but more importantly I understand the problem. I will solve this. So we can keep talking about it, or we can take action. I’m taking action.”
The second advertisement — a 30-second spot called “Nailed It” — features his daughters. The two women talk about their father’s position on issues like women’s health and equal pay for equal work.
Perkins is vying to replace Rep. Patrick Murphy in Congress. He faces Democrat Jonathan Chane in the primary in Florida’s 18th Congressional District.
