(Updated at 9:10 a.m.) Congressional candidate Lavern Chatman released her first television ad this morning.
In the ad (above), Chatman highlights her upbringing as the daughter of a postal worker and an auto mechanic, then pledges to fight for pay equity for women, a higher minimum wage, and a woman’s right to choose.
Chatman, the former President and CEO of the Northern Virginia Urban League, is one of seven Democrats facing off in the upcoming June 10 primary in the race to succeed Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.). She’s the only woman in the race.
Chatman is one of the top fundraisers in the race, thanks in part to a fundraiser with media mogul Oprah Winfrey. However, her campaign has been marred by the revelation that she was found guilty in a fraud case more than a decade ago.
