TX-25: Julie Oliver launches 6-figure TV ad buy

Austin attorney Julie Oliver, a Democrat aiming to unseat U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, R-Austin, launched a six-figure television ad buy Monday, her first of the campaign.

It features her son Brack’s health struggles, saying he fears being denied health insurance if the Affordable Care Act is repealed.

Both Oliver and Williams have ramped up television advertising ahead of the Nov. 3 election. The 25th Congressional District includes portions of East, Central and West Austin, as well as western Travis and Hays counties and most of Fort Hood. It stretches to just south of Fort Worth.

Williams released his third TV ad Monday, highlighting his votes for small business relief during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s part of a seven-figure broadcast media buy, which the campaign began earlier this month.

Oliver’s ad focuses on health care for those with pre-existing conditions, saying her son has had health issues since he was 5 years old.

“He looked at me and he said, ‘Mom, so you’re telling me they can deny me insurance because of what I grew up with?’?” Oliver says in the ad. “And I said, ‘Not if I’m elected, honey.’?”
