(UPDATED) Arroyo going up with TV spot on Univision and Telemundo

City Councillor At-Large Felix G. Arroyo is going up on TV with a 30-second spot this week. The ad will run on Univision and Telemundo for an initial run of 4 weeks, according to the campaign.

The introductory ad -- titled "Con Tu Ayuda Vamos a Hacer Historia," or "With your help we will make history" -- briefly focuses on Arroyo's biography and features the mayoral candidate's father, Felix D. Arroyo, the former city councillor at-large.

A Jamaica Plain resident who is married to a teacher, the younger Arroyo was elected to the council in 2009 and earlier this year kicked off his mayoral campaign. If elected to the mayor's office, Arroyo would be the first Latino to hold the job.

"We believe that this media campaign will supplement the grassroots work we are doing in all neighborhoods in Boston, and build upon the groundswell of support Felix is getting across the city," Doug Rubin, a senior advisor to the Arroyo campaign who served in Gov. Deval Patrick's administration, said in a statement. "We are looking to build upon that support and engage residents in our grassroots efforts."

The ad's script is below:
