 have to play this ad for you so this is Gary Chambers he's running for the United States Senate and I think he may have released the best ad ever it's informative it's edgy it's it's important and it's just so well done someone every 37 seconds someone is arrested for possession of marijuana since 2010 state and local police have arrested an estimated 7.3 million Americans for violating marijuana laws over half of all drug arrests black people are four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana laws than white people states waste 3.7 billion dollars in forcing marijuana laws every year most of the people police are arresting aren't dealers but rather people with small amounts of pot just like me I'm Gary Chambers and I'm running for the U.S. Senate and I approve this message that is a damn good ad imagine having Gary Chambers in the U.S. Senate he's an incredible politician who could be a potential leader in the future for the left item 5 for almost everything 46 in health care 47th in infrastructure in the economy 48th in education and opportunity 49th in the environment and 50th in crime Louisiana is long overdue for a new vision and stronger leadership when I take inventory of who we are as a people I recognize there are more of us working long hours and underpaid jobs sacrificing away from my family there are more of us struggling to make ends meet traveling on crumbling roads and bridges in big cities and small towns in street traffic while foot traffic to our small businesses dwindles there are too many of us having to choose between buying our medicines and paying a utility bill and facing insurmountable student loan debt and some of us even dying from the pollution of chemical plants in our community it's time for real change in Louisiana growing up in Louisiana to a school teacher Anna janitor I learned the power of family and community from a working-class family and built a work ethic that taught me that no matter what we were up against we could face it together because we are more than the obstacles ahead of us more than the challenges we face and when it comes to the forces that would seek to hold us down we can never forget that there are more of us we can make a change in Louisiana because there are more of us who are willing to help our neighbors and lift our communities there are more of us who want to see our children thrive and have a fair shot at a bright future and prosperous life right here in this state my work began long before a school board meeting that went viral but since then I've had the privilege and the opportunity to serve communities all across this state and one thing I know for sure is what we need is more of us to represent what Louisiana truly is made of more ordinary working-class folks like you and I with real-lived experience that understand our state and our play I'm Gary Chambers and I'm running for the U.S. Senate and I'm asking you to join me on this journey to strategize organize and mobilize Louisiana like never before and remember there's more of us I see at work he has to get elected
