n 30 second spot, Braley discusses how his mom inspired him to never give up
DES MOINES, IA - Launching on broadcast and cable TV across Iowa in time for Mother's Day, the second television ad of Bruce Braley's 2014 campaign for US Senate highlights the impact Marcia Braley -- Bruce's mom -- has had on his life.

After his father died during his first year of law school at the University of Iowa, Braley considered leaving school. But his mom urged him to keep going and never give up.

Braley said, "My mom is an incredible inspiration to me, and she's had a big impact on my life. She grew up in the Great Depression and taught us to work hard, put family first, and spend money wisely. But most importantly, she taught me to never give up no matter how tough things were. I'm running for Senate because I'm determined to fight for working families like the one I grew up in."
