Though not traditional television ads, here are some honorable mentions that made waves on social media, including a nod to the controversial but viral “Peloton” ad, a follow up to an incredibly popular 2018 congressional ad, and a candidate’s take on what it means to be 100% Texan.
Genevieve Collins — Congressional District 32 — Republican Candidate
“100% Texan”
Wendy Davis — Congressional District 21 — Democrat Candidate
“The Gift”
Running for office is truly the 'Gift That Gives Back,' No Peloton required. Thank you to everyone supporting our campaign, and thank you to all the candidates running for office this year. #TX21 @AviationGin @VancityReynolds #peloton pic.twitter.com/rvFhUOsXYA
