Photographer: Daniel Acker/BloombergRight to Rise USA, the super-PAC backing Republican Jeb Bush's presidential campaign, started airing a pair of new television ads this week, both positive messages that promote his record as governor of Florida.
Part of a $23 million, four-month marketing campaign in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, the ads—one 30 seconds long, the other 60 seconds, according to Right to Rise spokesman Paul Lindsey—began airing days after Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's exited the field, urging his party to coalesce around an alternative to Donald Trump. They portray Bush as a conservative with a record of accomplishment.
