Jeb's Super PAC kicks off $24-million TV campaign to introduce the candidate [View all]
he Super PAC backing Jeb Bush today kicks off a $24-million TV campaign for Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina that aims to educate Republican voters who, according to the committee's internal polling, know surprisingly little about Bush beyond the last name.
"As governor, he helped create 1.3-million new jobs. He vetoed billions in government spending. He cut taxes $19-billion, balanced eight budgets, and shrank state government," says the narrator before Bush appears on the screen. "... The state was Florida. The governor was Jeb Bush. Proven conservative. Real Results."
The pro-Bush Right to Rise Super PAC raised $103-million through June 31, and its leader, media consultant Mike Murphy, said it will spend nearly a quarter of that to keep a pro-Bush message on TV in the three early voting states through the end of the year. The first ad starts in Iowa and New Hampshire today and starts in south Carolina in a week.
"People have a lot of curiosity of Jeb Bush, but outside of Florida they don't know much about him. They know he's from Florida, many know he was the governor, some know he was interested in education policy. That's about it," Murphy said, citing research by the Super PAC's pollsters. "So the first step in a long, process of both telling Jeb's story and talking about his conservative vision for the country is to talk about some of these most notable accomplishments."
