DES MOINES, IA - Braley for Iowa is launching its first television ad of the 2014 campaign for US Senate today.
The minute-long spot highlights Rep. Bruce Braley's working background, and features Braley speaking about his upbringing and work experience with his mother Marcia. Braley, who grew up in Brooklyn, Iowa, worked jobs in road construction and at a grain elevator. Braley also worked to help put himself through college at Iowa State and law school at the University of Iowa.
Braley said, "I think you can tell a lot about someone by where they come from. I grew up in Brooklyn, Iowa, and worked to put myself through college at Iowa State, working jobs in road construction, at a grain elevator, and waiting tables. I grew up in a working family, and that's why fighting to strengthen and expand the middle class is the centerpiece of my campaign for US Senate."
