2017 Republican gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie’s campaign announced today it will launch a new television ad, “Boardroom.” The ad is the first of the general election to air in the Washington, D.C. media market. Previous ads have been running in markets across Virginia.
“The son of an immigrant, Ed worked his way through college as a Senate parking lot attendant and later became Counselor to the President of the United States,” said campaign manager Chris Leavitt. “Now he’s running for governor to ensure the next generation can do better than the generation that came before them by putting forward policies that will allow all Virginians to fulfill themselves and pursue their dreams whatever that dream may be.”

Ed Gillespie: My grandfather worked in a corporate boardroom, but he never sat at a table like this. He polished it. He was a janitor. I inherited his work ethic from my parents, who ran a small grocery store. They never went to college, but insisted I do. I got a degree, started three small businesses, and advised a President of the United States. Where we start out in life shouldn’t determine where we end up. I’m running for governor so all Virginians can realize the American Dream.
