New Barr Ad, Mary Clay Barr Says “Nobody Loves Kentucky More Than My Dad”
Lexington, Kentucky—Today, the Andy Barr for Senate campaign released an ad as a part of a seven figure ad buy across broadcast television and digital streaming services. The Republican nominee in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race released an ad featuring Mary Clay Barr, daughter of Andy Barr, speaking about her dad’s love for Kentucky and his commitment to putting the Commonwealth first.
As an eighth-generation Kentuckian, Barr has made putting Kentucky first a central theme of his campaign for the U.S. Senate. Barr opened the general election with a major cash-on-hand (COH) advantage against Socialist Charles Booker, with $2.2M COH at the end of quarter two. Booker reported $309,000 COH with over $90,000 in campaign debt.
The full text of the ad is below:
Mary Clay Barr: My dad, Andy Barr, loves Kentucky—like a lot. Dad thinks coal for Christmas is a good gift. He blasts bluegrass in the school pickup line. Wears his Derby Day outfit around the house. He can go a little overboard, but nobody loves Kentucky more than my dad.
Andy Barr: I’m Andy Barr, and I approve this message. I think.
Mary Clay Barr: Good job, Dad. I guess.
