Philip Levine makes closing argument in ‘Florida’s Moment’ TV spot

Philip Levine

Former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, polling at or near the top of the field of Florida Democrats running for Governor in most recent surveys, released a closing argument TV spot Thursday that distilled the major themes of his campaign.

The ad represents a real contrast to the pugnacity of recent weeks in the campaign, re-establishing themes of unity that any of the five candidates in the Democratic field could endorse.

According to the Levine campaign: “The new ad focuses on what’s at stake in this election and Florida’s chance to reach its full potential and become a state with real gun safety laws, safer schools, a 21st-century economy, and stronger environmental protection policies. Backed by a seven-figure buy, this ad will run in markets across the state until the end of Florida’s primary election.”

“This election is about more than any one person; it’s about Florida’s future, our future. Democrats must stand strong against the divisiveness coming from Washington and offer a positive, compelling vision of what Florida and our nation can be, and Philip Levine has that vision,” asserted Levine senior adviser Christian Ulvert.

“As an entrepreneur who built companies from scratch and a two-term Mayor who delivered results, Philip Levine is the candidate who’s focused on the future — he sees the potential of our great state and knows that together, we can build a Florida where everyone has the opportunity to pursue the American Dream,” Ulvert added.

The spot shows Levine in a studio, asserting that “this is our moment to show America that when people pull together there is nothing that we will not do to make life better for everyone.”
