HOUSTON, TX - Peter Brown launched the start of his paid media campaign today with the release of his first television advertisement, "Next Step." Building on the strong grassroots campaign Peter Brown has built over the last several months, the ad introduces Peter's unique story, the deep-rooted pride Peter shares with Houstonians, and his plans as mayor. Having developed detailed solutions to crime, flooding and other challenges the city faces, the advertisement directs Houstonians to view his Blueprint for an Even Better Houston in more detail at: www.peterbrownformayor.com/blueprint.

Peter Brown is the first mayoral candidate to begin running citywide advertising. The spot will be airing on broadcast and cable television.

"Houstonians are looking for a mayor with the passion, practical experience, and ideas to tackle the city's toughest problems. Unlike those who offer only sound bites and more politics as usual, Peter Brown has a detailed plan - a blueprint for an even better Houston. Peter Brown continues to build momentum as the first to offer a substantive vision for Houston's future and take it directly to Houstonians - neighbor by neighbor, block by block, and now on the airwaves," said Brown's campaign manager, Lucinda Guinn.

Text of NEXT STEP is as follows:

"We are Houston. Working harder. Reaching higher. And beating the odds with strength and resolve. In Houston's best tradition... Peter Brown. He built a successful business, getting results and creating jobs. On the city council, Brown rooted out wasteful spending in city contracts, while investing in crime prevention. He's got a detailed plan... a blueprint to make Houston even better to live, work and raise a family. Peter Brown for Mayor. An even better Houston."

As a successful businessman, Peter Brown has the experience Houston needs in our next mayor. A U.S. Army Veteran born and raised in Houston, Peter built his own small business into a successful national firm. He knows how to make a business thrive, and he knows how to get results. As Mayor, he'll use those skills to improve our city - protecting our tax dollars with a more effective, efficient and accountable approach to government. He'll make smart investments to reduce crime, improve the quality of life, and attract more businesses and more jobs to Houston. As a City Councilmember, Brown saved taxpayers millions by reworking city building plans, cutting government waste, and championing conservation efforts. Brown has the experience and vision to build an even better Houston. We need a Mayor who will get results, and Peter Brown is that leader.

big mistake.

lots of info and shots. quick cuts and fast pace designed to conceal age of candidate. must be a poll recommendation.

pretty good spot, but may need high frequency to penetrate without a clear thematic.

the description was better than the ad:

"Houstonians are looking for a mayor with the passion, practical experience, and ideas to tackle the city's toughest problems. Unlike those who offer only sound bites and more politics as usual, Peter Brown has a detailed plan - a blueprint for an even better Houston. Peter Brown continues to build momentum as the first to offer a substantive vision for Houston's future and take it directly to Houstonians - neighbor by neighbor, block by block, and now on the airwaves," said Brown's campaign manager, Lucinda Guinn.

The block after the transcript is even better:

As a successful businessman, Peter Brown has the experience Houston needs in our next mayor. A U.S. Army Veteran born and raised in Houston, Peter built his own small business into a successful national firm. He knows how to make a business thrive, and he knows how to get results.
