Republican U.S. Rep. Brian Mast of Palm City is dropping his first re-election digital ad of the cycle featuring him talking with seniors, paying respects at a veterans’ memorial, fishing with his sons, and declaring, “My mission is not over.”
The 30-second ad, “Promises Kept,” highlights three areas of bipartisan Congressional achievements for the freshman lawmaker: protecting seniors from fraud preventing critical veterans’ programs from expiring, and passing new funding to combat algal blooms.
The ad is appearing on-line for now.
Mast’s campaign also reported Tuesday that it raised $419,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017, and that Mast For Congress now has $1,039,000 cash on hand.
Mast has two fairly high-profile Democrats seeking to face him in the 2018 election for Florida’s 18th Congressional District along the Treasure Coast: former Obama administration official Lauren Bauer, and Navy veteran and lawyer Pam Keith, both of Palm Beach Gardens.
“When I became your Congressman, my promises became my mission,” Mast, a disabled Army veteran, states in the video. “To protect seniors, I passed legislation to crack down on crimes which target seniors and strengthen Medicare. For our veterans, my bill averted crisis by protecting veterans healthcare programs. And for our environment, I secured more than $20 million to combat harmful algal blooms in our waterways.
“I know my mission is not over. That’s why I’m asking for your support to stay in the fight,” he concludes.
