Leading Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate, Dr. Lisa Johnston, Debuts Campaign Commercials

Overland Park, Kansas — July 21, 2010 — Dr. Lisa Johnston, leading Democratic candidate for United States Senate in Kansas, will debut her first two campaign commercials today, “Education Deserves a Strong Voice” and “We Need Leaders”. The ads focus on Lisa’s positive message of bringing a strong voice for education to the U.S. Senate and the importance of electing leaders rather than traditional career politicians.

In both Survey USA polls of Democratic primary voters, Lisa has led by 8 and 9 point margins respectively. These results suggest that her message of being a leader with professional expertise in education continues to resonate with voters across the state.

When asked about her target audience for her commercials, she said “I hope to reach voters across the political spectrum by sharing my message and key priorities. We must strengthen our schools, find practical solutions to increase economic stability and further job growth, as well as enhance fiscal accountability. If elected, I pledge to be a true representative for the people of Kansas as this is one of the most important and sacred responsibilities of any elected official.”

The commercials will air statewide and will run through the August 3rd primary election.
