Mayoral candidate Andrea Campbell with Lawrence O'Donnell during an interview that aired on MSNBC on Aug. 5.
Boston mayoral candidate Andrea Campbell is hitting the airwaves with a 30 second ad pitching her experience as a city councillor and lifelong Boston resident. Her campaign rolled out the commercial titled "Two Bostons" on Friday morning and plan a "six-figure buy over the next two weeks."
Campbell's ad buy hits just days after one of her competitors Annissa Essaibi George went up with her campaign's first ad.
Campbell, who represents parts of Dorchester and Mattapan as the District 4 city councillor, also chalked up a coveted stretch of earned national media time on Thursday night as a guest on MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. The host, a Dorchester native whose father, a lawyer, once represented Campbell's father in front of the US Supreme Court, interviewed Campbell over the course of an 11-minute segment.
As O'Donnell noted, Acting Mayor Kim Janey was guest on his show in June.
