Rep. Kyrsten Sinema released two ads on YouTube this morning as she kicks off a new digital campaign her Senate run.
The ads offer a brief introduction to Sinema, including a cameo by her older brother Paul — a Tucson police officer.
The ad, "Paul," touts as Sinema as one of the most independent members of Congress.
Another ad, "Work Together," has Sinema saying she is concerned more with "getting stuff done" over a political ideology.
Text of the 15 second ad, "Paul":
Paul -
"I’m a police officer. She’s my little sis."
Kyrsten -
"And he’s my big, bad Marine brother."
Paul -
"She’s real headstrong."
Kyrsten -
"I call it being independent."

Text of the 15 second ad, "Work together":
Kyrsten -
"There are a lot of people in Washington who are more interested in their talking points and their ideology than getting stuff done, and what I say to those folks is, ‘move over and let the adults in the room solve this problem.'"

Kyrsten -
"It doesn’t have to be that way because we can work together, we can reach across the aisle, we can solve problems."

Kyrsten -
"And in fact, some of us do it every day. That’s my job. It’s just to get up each morning and think, ‘How can I better serve the people of Arizona? What can I do for everyday people?’ They shouldn’t have to worry about what’s happening in Washington. They should get to just get up in the morning, take care of their families, go to work, and plan for their kids’ future. It’s our job to make sure the government's working for them, not against them."
