Khazei, in first ad, asks voters to 'believe'
US Senate candidate Alan Khazei, who is trying to lift his candidacy with a grass-roots movement, unveiled his first TV ad of the campaign today, a 30-second spot that highlights his work creating City Year, the national service program.
"I’ve always believed one person has the power to change things," Khazei, standing in front of a playground, says in the ad, called "Believe," asserting that City Year created 15,000 jobs.
Khazei, who is trying to get some political mileage out of his decision not to accept campaign contributions from PACs and lobbyists, ends the spot by saying, "Because change always comes from the people, not the special interests.”
The new ad means all four candidates -- Khazei, Attorney General Martha Coakley, Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca, and US Representative Michael Capuano -- are now up on TV. The Democratic primary is Dec. 8.
