“He brings regular people into the process who are not currently participating,” Sanders adviser Jeff Weaver told the Times.
“You need to be reaching people in a nonpolitical space," he added. "To find people who are not going to caucus, you have to be in spaces where they are, and that’s on television.”
The ads will reportedly be developed within his campaign organization and shown in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Carolina and California.
