Ad tells of struggles as a child, touts record of job creation

Booneville , Miss. – Prentiss County Chancery Clerk and businessman Travis Childers is the first Democrat to take his campaign to the television airwaves in the upcoming primary for the open seat in Mississippi's first congressional district.

Childers' campaign began airing an ad on Friday that tells the story of how he worked full-time jobs through high school and college to support his mother and sister after his father died when Childers was sixteen years old. The ad also touts Childers' economic development credentials by helping attract more than 1,000 new jobs to North Mississippi.

"We have momentum and we are moving forward to the March 11 Democratic Primary with the use of paid media to communicate our message of job creation and understanding the struggles of middle class families," Childers said. "We will use television and other forms of media to communicate with voters all the way up to Election Day."

The TV ad is available for viewing on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7oDTGclHp8

Travis W. Childers, a Democrat, has served as Chancery Clerk of Prentiss County for the past sixteen years. Childers has worked as a Realtor and appraiser in Booneville since 1978.
