"Tom Steyer: Working for Rehabilitative Justice" [View all]

That's the headline on his new ad running on MSNOW. He has been criticized for his investments in the past, including in private prisons. This ad is an attempt to address that. It starts in a "town hall" with a questioner asking him about an investment. I can't understand what investment no matter how many times I reran it. Steyer then uses the question to say that he sold this investment 22 years ago, it was a mistake, and it did not reflect his values. He is now working for "rehabilitative justice".

He also labels himself a progressive in the ad.
