Republican Patrick Testin ran against Democratic incumbent Julie Lassa for Wisconsin State Senate in District 24 and won the election by just over 4,000 votes. Testin released a video advertisement on November 2 entitled “Raise the Bar” where he stated the following: “We’ve been weighed down by 18 years of the same failed leadership, but together we can lift our communities back up.” This advertisement employs broad and ambiguous terms, such as “we,” “failed” and “communities” without context for what those terms are defined as in relation to the campaign. While unspecified terms can potentially appeal to a wider audience, it also doesn’t answer any real policy issue questions or explain what Testin would do as a candidate if elected to public office.
