The 30-second spot, titled “Light the Way,” will run on social media platforms, YouTube and Hulu in the three states. The ad features footage from a recent rally in Nevada in which more than 800 attendees lit the stage with their cellphones after a power outage.

“Even in dark times. Together, we can light the way to a better future,” text in the ad reads over the footage.

The Buttigieg campaign declined to clarify how much money went into producing and distributing the ad, only saying it was a “substantial” buy across all three states and noting that similar ads usually run for about a week.

The ad comes as the South Bend, Ind., mayor seeks to expand support for his campaign after seeing his poll numbers stagnate in the middle tier of most national and statewide surveys. His campaign did, however, collect more than $19 million in donations in the third quarter of 2019, the third-highest haul of any presidential contender.
