Denver, CO — Political outsider, successful business leader, and Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Joe O’Dea's campaign released a new TV ad campaign highlighting Joe's background as a working American ready to fight for working Americans.
In the News
Colorado Politics: “Joe O'Dea, the Colorado Republican challenging U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, released a TV ad Wednesday that portrays the construction company owner as a political outsider who disdains partisanship.
Set to run through this weekend in the Denver market on a $165,000 buy, the 30-second spot is the first new, general election ad O'Dea has aired since winning the nomination six weeks ago."
Washington Examiner: "O’Dea’s independent message and appealing, blue-collar image — the construction company chief executive officer is mounting his first bid for public office — is exactly the sort of approach that could make a Republican dangerous in the general election in a cycle in which Democrats, broadly, are on their heels."It's no wonder Democrats meddled in the Colorado GOP Senate primary on behalf of Ron Hanks, the candidate aligned with former President Donald Trump."
Roll Call: "Colorado Senate GOP nominee Joe O’Dea is out with an ad aimed at appealing to independent voters, billing himself as “not a politician” and saying he’s not focused on political parties."
What They're Saying
John A. Daley, @JohnDalyBooks: "The more I see of this guy (I voted for him in the primary), the more I think he's a pretty decent off-ramp from the MAGA era.
Guy Benson, @guypbenson: "Good ad"
Krista Kafer, @KristaKafer: "I gotta admit I like this ad."
Andrew Kenny, @AndyKnny: "'Country over party' is the Republican Senate nonminee's slogan entering the general in Colorado"
Greg Brophy, @SenatorBrophy: "A really good ad and a really good candidate for #cosen"
Audrey Fahlberg, @AudreyFahlberg: "New ad from GOP Senate candidate Joe O'Dea in Colorado paints the Michael Bennet challenger as an independent candidate who doesn't care about party politics: 'Everyone in Washington. votes the party line. Joe won't."'"
Josh Holmes, @HolmesJosh: "This guy is gonna give Michael Bennet hell."
Cole Wist, @colewist: "Not voting the party line? Works for me. We need more independent thought and voices in Washington."
The ad features important pieces of Joe's life story. O’Dea, whose Dad helped start the mounted patrol for the Denver Police Department, is an avid horseman. O’Dea’s dad made him wash dishes at Piccolo's to pay for tuition in Catholic school. Today, O’Dea, a union carpenter when he was only a young man, runs a successful construction company that employs 300. All aspects are featured in the ad.
Chuck Schumer and national Democrats spent $10 millionmeddling in Colorado’s GOP primary to hijack the election and boost an election-denier.
During his failed run for president, Michael Bennet also embraced the support of various billionaires to fund his campaign.
In his first ad for the 2022 election, Michael Bennet claims he doesn’t corporate PAC contributions. The truth is he’s taken thousands from groups that accept corporate PAC money.
Bennet obtained a one day fishing license to film his latest ad.
