Television and digital ads from the campaign to elect Nate Willems as Iowa Attorney General.
“Birdsh*t”
NARRATOR: What's Iowa gotten from Brenna Bird as our attorney general? It isn't pretty. Instead of stopping price gouging, Bird's taken thousands from executives jacking up prices. Thousands more from out-of-state companies polluting Iowa's air and water, putting families at risk of cancer. Bird even protected them from punishment, letting them off the hook and making it easier for them to do it again.
NATE WILLEMS: I'm Nate Willems. It's time to clean up Iowa and all this Bird—
“Facts”
NARRATOR: Some attacks are full of lies, but the facts about Brenna Bird are crystal clear. An Iowa plant released cancer-causing toxins into the air for years. Up to 27 times the legal limit. But instead of prosecuting them, Bird took $100,000 from their CEO.
NEWS CLIP: The CEO donated multiple times to Bird's campaign.
NARRATOR: Bird continued taking money from corporations that pollute our air and water, and made it even harder to hold them accountable. Brenna Bird works for the corporations. Not us.
“I Will”
"Polluters are poisoning Iowa's air and water, sending our cancer rates soaring. But instead of holding them accountable, Brenna Bird has taken their money and let them off the hook. I'm Nate Willems. I've spent my career taking on corporations that cheat Iowa workers – and won. Now I'm running for Attorney General because if Brenna Bird won't prosecute the polluters giving us cancer, I will. I'll work every day to protect our families. Because I've always worked for Iowans – and I always will."
“Nate”
CHRISTINE: The company came in and told us our jobs had just been outsourced. Nate Willems took them on, and he got us our jobs back.
E.J. (Ret. Cedar Rapids Police Captain): Nate's taken on greedy corporations that pick the pockets of Iowa workers – and won. Getting record wage increases for law enforcement and justice for people across Iowa.
NATE WILLEMS: I'm Nate Willems, and Iowa needs an Attorney General who works for the people, not greedy corporations. I'll work every day to protect your paycheck and all our families.
“Shell Rock”
"When we found out the plant had been releasing poison into the air for years, we felt betrayed. I just remember being incredibly outraged thinking what's next. Brenna Bird refused to go after them. And then she took $100,000 from their CEO. We were breathing in cancer causing toxins. Am I gonna live long enough to care for my daughter? Brenna Bird, she is not doing the job for us."
