The Hillary Clinton campaign is airing a new television commercial featuring Michelle Obama making the case for election this November. In the 30-second ad, the first lady makes the case that Clinton would be a good role model for children.

“Our children watch everything we do, and the person we elect as president as the power to shape their lives for years to come,” Obama says at the beginning of the ad.

She goes on to say Clinton has spent her whole career “bringing folks together on behalf of our kids.”

“She believes that every child deserves a chance to succeed,” Obama says.

This is Mrs. Obama’s first TV ad for the campaign, and comes off a radio ad she cut for Clinton currently airing in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Later on Wednesday, Obama campaigns for Clinton in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
