The YES on Prop 121 Arizona Open Election Coalition campaign today unveiled a TV ad that will begin to run immediately on stations across the state. The campaign made special note that the are committed to staying positive, even in the face of all the bipartisan negative advertisements against the non-partisan measure:

Noting that opponents have leveled a barrage of criticism at the measure in their effort to preserve the state’s current partisan primary election system, Johnson admitted that the ads are indeed different for a political campaign. “We too could have gone negative,” said Johnson. “Rather than become immersed in the swill of negative ads we seemingly see and hear on a constant basis, we chose a different course,” said Johnson. “After all, Prop 121 is designed to make a positive difference by leveling the playing field for all voters and all candidates.”
