BLAKE GENDEBIEN CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES FIRST GENERAL ELECTION TV AD, “BEFORE THE SUN”
New 30-second ad begins airing on broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms today
LISBON, N.Y. — Blake Gendebien, a second-generation dairy farmer, today released his first television advertisement of the general election, “Before the Sun,” a 30-second spot introducing voters across New York’s 21st Congressional District to the values that have defined his life: hard work, service to his community, and a commitment to delivering for Upstate New York and the North Country.
Beginning today, the ad will air on broadcast television throughout the Albany media market, as well as on streaming and digital platforms across the district.
“This ad tells voters exactly who Blake is: a dairy farmer who’s up before the sun every single day – not a career politician,” said Campaign Manager Michael Waller. “While politicians in Washington focus on helping the wealthy and well-connected, Blake knows what it’s like to work seven days a week and stretch every dollar. He’s lived the challenges Upstate New York and North Country families face, and he’ll fight every day to lower costs and deliver for the people of this district.”
BEFORE THE SUN:
I’m up before the sun…meeting with dad to plan the day’s work on the farm.
Farming is seven days a week—and every little bit counts.
In Washington, they don’t get that anymore.
Politicians want to spend billions for ballrooms and tax breaks for CEOs, while Upstate New York families just want groceries that won’t break the bank.
I’m Blake Gendebien, and I’m not a politician. I know hard work and what’s important to help my neighbors get ahead…and that’s why I approve this message.
