Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s (D-Montclair) campaign for governor launched a Spanish-language ad on Wednesday. 

The ad, titled enfrentará (“to confront”), comes in four versions — 30 seconds and 15 seconds, each in English and Spanish. The campaign said it has launched a “six-figure” digital and radio campaign, which is part of a broader, seven-figure effort to reach Latino voters in the state.

“Mikie will take on anybody — from special interests to her own party and Donald Trump — to deliver for New Jersey families,” said Sherrill campaign manager Alex Ball. “She is the only candidate in this race with a real plan to fight for our state and lower costs for New Jersey families.”

The ad features Angel Quiles, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Army who retired as a master sergeant and school board vice president in Garfield. Quiles said Sherrill is unafraid to fight anybody, including President Donald Trump, and said she’ll create a “public report” to show how the state uses tax dollars.

English spot script:

[Angel Quiles, retired U.S. Army] We need a governor who will fight for New Jersey. Mikie Sherrill was a Navy pilot, a federal prosecutor, and she’s a mother of four. She’s not afraid of anybody, not even Donald Trump. Mikie will create a public report to show how the state is using our tax dollars. She’ll increase mental health counselors in our schools, and she’ll take on the utility companies that are ripping us off. Porque ya basta.

[Mikie Sherrill] I’m Mikie Sherrill, and I’ll always fight for New Jersey.

(“Porque ya basta” translates to “enough is enough.”)
