Marco Rubio goes on air in first Spanish-language ad of the cycle

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio is releasing his first Spanish-language ad of the 2022 election cycle.

The 30-second spot focuses on the Senator’s response when Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico and his role in crafting the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It will run on television in the Orlando area, according to the Rubio campaign.

The ad, entitled “Logró,” begins with a weather forecast graphic of the storm as it struck Puerto Rico in 2017. A female narrator in Spanish describes the urgency with which Florida’s Senator treated the disaster.

“When Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, we had a voice in the Senate: Marco Rubio,” the narrator says in Spanish. “Marco delivered unprecedented resources to rebuild the island and helped millions of affected families when they came to Florida.”
