Katie Darling, 36, who's never run for elective office, launched an unlikely bid last summer against powerful Republican Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise.
None of her other posts had generated more than 60 retweets until now, but Darling said her team believed this video would make an impact.
"We were counting on it," she said."We knew it would take a special message so we were thoughtful and mindful of the content and its importance." Darling, who was previously the chief executive of a New Orleans rum distiller and now works as an account executive with a technology company in the education sector, said the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade last summer spurred her entry into the race.
"We should be putting pregnant women at ease, not putting their lives at risk," she continues in the ad.In his last campaign finance report, Scalise reported more than $8 million cash on hand, while Darling said she has raised less than $100,000 so far. "I'm proud of the money that I've been able to raise, but it's never enough," Darling said."I'm hoping this video helps with our fund-raising goal. We need national support to win this race."This article originally appeared on Lafayette Daily Advertiser:
