New Marco Rubio ads spotlight grateful Floridians

Rubio ad
'He's the only one who came to our rescue.'

Ahead of Tuesday night’s Senate debate, Marco Rubio’s campaign is going live with a trio of spots highlighting what the Senator has done for Floridians.

The ads feature first-person narration from grateful constituents who have experienced firsthand Rubio’s “work to get things done for Florida,” according to a release from his campaign.

“Marco Rubio gets things done for Florida. He’s a tireless fighter for this state and the only candidate in this race who has delivered result after result for the people of Florida. Meanwhile, Val Demings has not authored a single bill that has become law. In three weeks, Floridians are going to re-elect Marco Rubio to the United States Senate,” said Communications Director Elizabeth Gregory.

Indeed, Rubio has sought to show a contrast between his legislative record and that of Demings throughout the campaign. But the trio of new ads doesn’t mention the Orlando Democrat or her record in the House at all.

Gwen and Vera” introduces viewers to two survivors of 2018’s catastrophic Hurricane Michael. They sit at the dining room table sipping coffee as they extol the Senator’s virtues.

“He’s the only one who came to our rescue. … Sen. Rubio’s helping us was the answer to our prayers,” the ladies contended.

Nothing” features the mother of a cancer survivor who credits Rubio with saving her daughter’s life.

“We’re so grateful that Marco Rubio wrote the law to expand treatment for childhood cancer,” said Lisa. “Thanks to Marco, more help and more treatment are coming for families like ours.”

Everglades” introduces viewers to Captain Jimmy and Captain Mike, who credit Rubio with helping to get federal resources to battle red tide and algae blooms.

“How me and my group typically think of politicians, is they’re full of s**t. But Sen. Rubio has been awesome for us guides down here,” the ad contends.

    No surprise, as I outlined in past days.
    Senator Rubio is the best “ legislator” in Congress, House and Senate.

    His days as former speaker of the Florida house allows him to write micro law that matters.

    Covid and Housing law, and as identified here.
    Making a difference for peeps!

    Dumings can’t stand up to a world class Senator. Rubio on domestic and foreign policy is America’s Senator!

      Marco Rubio is a diligent, conscientious US Senator and legislator; a natural, brilliant orator with the facts at his fingertips with a photographic memory and he will win re-election. GO Marco!!

      You haven’t outlines anything or like Rubio had anything meaningful to say. Instead like Rubio you’re a coward and not even a Floridian.

    Tom, I don’t know how long you have been working for the Rubio campaign, but get a reality check. Rubio doesn’t return correspondence or phone calls. His idiotic commercial regarding making little boys into girls is ludicrous. He also stated after questioned by the Fox (of course) interviewer that his platform on abortion “yeh, I know, most people in the United States don’t agree with me”. His job is to represent his constituents and assist them when contacted, yes we are still out here, and paying attention. He doesn’t represent the majority and has gone off the rails. His voting record is appalling. He tries so hard to be relevant and misses the mark every time.

      America’s Senator saved lives during Covid with relief. Housing bill for thousands. Facts are funny things!

      His new adds hit it out of the park!

      Florida the beacon of liberty and freedom. Thanks to America’s Gov and Senator!

        Face it Tom, it’s obvious that you’re a vacuous paid shill for Republicans. You’re not even from Florida.

    Rubio wants to raise prescription prices for seniors. “Gwen and Vera” are either selfish or stupid for being in his ad. Or both.

    Rubio wants forced births of unwanted children..like Nikolas Cruz’s mother gave birth to. Guess Rubio hasn’t learned that it’s not just the pregnant woman who suffers. Will Marco take responsibility for the next tragedy?
