Elizabeth Warren releases new anti-corruption campaign ad in Iowa

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/elizabeth-warren-releases-anti-corruption-campaign-ad-iowa/story?id=67895260

The article has some interesting points about the amounts candidates are spending on ads in Iowa.

...
“I’m not afraid to stand up to the powerful interests,” Warren says in the ad, which will air in Iowa and released exclusively to ABC News.

Warren has pledged not to hold closed-door fundraisers or take money from super PACs. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has joined Warren by saying no closed-door fundraisers with high-dollar donors, raising money instead from grassroots donations.

“I’m not doing big-dollar fundraisers, I’m not selling ambassadorships to donors, I’m not cozying up to super PACs. And my first priority as president will be to pass the biggest package of anti-corruption reform since Watergate,” Warren says in the ad.

Warren has so far spent about $2.3 million on TV and radio ads in Iowa, according to the ad tracking firm CMAG. Buttigieg's current spending total in Iowa, by comparison, is about $6.5 million. Candidate Tom Steyer has spent the most in Iowa, totaling around $11 million so far.
