Republican Senate candidate Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) released a new ad Thursday called "Jealous" which features his dad.
"You may have seen a TV ad with my mom. It made her a celebrity — and it made my dad a little jealous," Cotton says, as he unloads a pickup truck with his dad standing nearby.
"I love my dad a lot. He gave me a good name, a duty to country, a lot of common sense. Dad said, ‘Don’t spend what you don’t have — stand on principle, even if you have to stand alone.’"
After that, his father looks over and says, "When you’re done politicking, come over and give me a hand."
Cotton’s mother appeared in an ad last fall, which touted his military service.
In late April, Cotton released an ad called "At Ease" which featured Sgt. Norton, his drill sergeant from basic training, and explained how his time as a solider taught him accountability, humility and putting the unit before himself, traits that would serve him well in the U.S. Senate.
