NORTHBROOK, IL— Today, Democrat Brad Schneider released a new television advertisement featuring and narrated by Barack Obama.

Speaking straight into the camera, Obama reminds viewers of the high stakes in this election and urges them to vote for Schneider to protect Medicare and Social Security, pass commonsense gun safety legislation, and protect women’s rights.

“It is a true honor to have the support of Barack Obama and I am incredibly grateful for his help communicating our message,” said Schneider. “From equality to expanding healthcare, I am committed to protecting the progress we have made over the last eight years, and I look forward to working with Hillary Clinton to build on Obama’s legacy by finally passing comprehensive immigration reform and commonsense gun safety legislation.”

The ad begins airing widely this week on broadcast television and online.
