Bullock has faced low polling and fundraising numbers since entering the race and has missed each of the previous two Democratic primary debates.

“As Iowans we know our right to go first in the nation comes with a special responsibility to sort through a crowded field and caucus for a Democrat who can beat Trump. This year, that’s what matters most, and that’s why I strongly support Steve Bullock for president,” Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller (D) says in the first ad, dubbed “Responsibility.” 

“Steve is the only Democrat who has won a state Trump won because he connects with voters better than anybody else,” Miller adds.

The second ad, named “Only,” depicts media personalities highlighting that Bullock has won Trump voters while maintaining liberal policies like supporting abortion access and expanding Medicaid.

“Both ads tout Governor Bullock’s unique record of progressive achievement, and his unparalleled ability to connect with voters of all stripes — an ability that propelled him to win three elections in a Trump state,” the campaign said in a statement.

“The ad buy demonstrates the campaign’s commitment in Iowa and supplements its strong ground operation and growing list of local endorsements,” the statement also notes. 

Bullock has put a premium on a stronger-than-expected showing in Iowa next year given the state’s rural makeup. However, he has lagged in fundraising and still polls near the bottom of most surveys in the Hawkeye State.
