Rep. Jerry Nadler is bringing out progressive heavy-hitter Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in his first campaign ad for the newly created 12th Congressional district.

The ad tries to check off all the progressive boxes, including touting Nadler’s stances on gun control, women’s reproductive rights and climate change.

Warren in the ad mentions how “lucky New Yorkers are to have Jerry in congress and America can’t afford to lose him.”

Nadler’s campaign manager, Julian Gerson noted that Warren is a nationally recognized leader just like his boss.

The ad comes a day after Rep. Carolyn Maloney released her first campaign ad, focusing on women’s rights. Maloney made a subtle jab at Nadler, saying “you cannot send a man to do a woman’s job.”
