Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2024) - Local Voices, a Democratic PAC founded by filmmaker Lee Hirsch, is running a campaign featuring 7 local, rural and suburban Pennsylvania voters in a series of unscripted testimonial ads targeting 17 counties in Pennsylvania in October. These ads feature, and are aimed, at voters from counties such as Tioga and Somerset speaking in their own words why they are voting. In a state renowned for its strong sense of localism these testimonials spotlight Pennsylvania values via trusted messengers discussing issues important to their friends and neighbors this Presidential election.
Lee Hirsch, founder of Local Voices, says "By sidestepping manufactured political messages and letting PA people speak for themselves, we are creating authentic opportunities for voters in these counties, that arguably Democrats don't pay enough attention to, and let voters in Pennsylvania evaluate their voting choices on their own terms."
To kick off their campaign in PA, Local Voices is currently airing seven testimonial ads featuring these Harris/Walz supporters on Fox and Newsmax in their counties and surrounding counties. The campaign goes out wider via TV, programmatic and digitally in mid October in 17 counties in PA.
