Lansing — Former Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink launched her first ad Monday in her U.S. House campaign to unseat first-term Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett in mid-Michigan, marking the first TV spot of the season in the battle for the 7th Congressional District.

...

In her ad, Brink speaks about her grandfather's history as a Lansing autoworker, her time serving on former President Barack Obama's National Security Council, becoming the first female ambassador to serve in a war zone and her eventual resignation in protest of President Donald Trump's "appeasement of Putin."

The 30-second ad ends with a promise to "fight for the American dream, for all of us."

The initial ad buy totaling $300,000 will run in the Lansing broadcast market as well as digital and streaming throughout the district, which includes all of Ingham, Clinton, Shiawassee and Livingston counties and parts of Genesee, Eaton and Oakland counties.
