CNN
The advertising blitz by Priorities USA, shared first with CNN, is aimed at encouraging voters to cast early ballots in person in Pennsylvania and Virginia, home to a competitive gubernatorial battle. In addition to encouraging early voting, the campaign is aimed at keeping voters engaged before the 2022 midterms when control of Congress is at stake.

In addition to encouraging early voting, the campaign is aimed at keeping voters engaged in elections before the 2022 midterms when control of Congress is at stake. The ads will run in English and Spanish.
In Virginia, where Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin are locked in a tight contest for governor, Priorities' push includes ads specifically targeting Black voters. One 15-second spot, called "All of Us," asks Virginians to vote on behalf of those "who struggled before us" for civil rights. It also asks voters to act on behalf those who lost their lives -- in an apparent reference to the Covid-19 pandemic's grim toll.
