In a cumulative ad buy totaling more than $1 million, the largest yet placed by any candidate on the 2018 statewide ballot, Republican lieutenant governor candidate Will Ainsworth on Wednesday began airing a new campaign commercial designed to introduce himself to voters and discuss his profound Christian faith.
“Unlike his career politician opponents, Will Ainsworth is a fresh face with new ideas, and this ad will help voters learn what guides his beliefs, thoughts, and actions,” Ainsworth campaign director Lewis McDonald said. “As a former youth pastor, Will has a devout commitment to his Christian faith, and he will lead the fight to preserve the morals and values that the Bible instructs us to follow.”
The new campaign spot for Ainsworth, who is a first-term member of the Alabama House representing portions of Marshall, Blount, and DeKalb counties, is currently airing on network and cable stations across the state as well as in digital and social media formats.
