Shane Goldmacher writes in the SacBee’s Capitol Alert (free-subscription only):

The 30-second TV spot is positive in nature, featuring the San Francisco assemblyman speaking directly into the camera about lobbying money, ethics reform and universal healthcare.

Here is the ad and email from Assemblyman Mark Leno:

I want to be certain you saw our first TV ad that is now airing. We are receiving a very positive response from those who have seen it, and I think you will like it too.

I need your help now more than ever, to make sure we can keep this ad up and place others on the air. Your $1000, $500, $250, or $100 contribution will go directly to buying air time for these ads. Your generous contribution will go directly to communicating our winning message to voters and leading us to victory.

We can and will win this race that has entered the final stretch. Our recent polling shows this is now a tight race between a moderate candidate who recently entered the race and myself.

We are doing what we need to do to win. I recently received San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s endorsement. We have opened a campaign headquarters in Marin County. We are precinct walking and phone banking.

Please consider contributing $1000, $500, $250, $100, or the most generous contribution you can before Monday’s financial filing deadline:

Let your voice be one of many giving us the tools to reach even more people.
