NYACK, NY – NY-17 Democratic Congressional Candidate Mondaire Jones launched his second television ad, which features him as the only candidate supporting Medicare for All and emphasizes his personal struggles affording health care growing up.

The ad, titled “Grateful,” showcases the essential workers who have helped everyone throughout the COVID-19 crisis and focuses on the human right to health care. Amidst a public health crisis, this ad demonstrates how Jones personally understands the fear of not being able to afford health care and underlines that he is the only candidate in his race supporting Medicare for All, which is overwhelmingly popular among Democrats (including Rep. Nita Lowey, who co-sponsored the legislation in 2017 and 2019).

I’m grateful to the grocery store workers and delivery people who helped us get through this crisis.

Don’t they deserve affordable health care? Doesn’t everyone?

I’m Mondaire Jones. I grew up on food stamps and know what it’s like to be scared of getting sick because you can’t afford a doctor.

No one should lose their health care because they lost their job. That’s why I’m the only Democrat for Congress supporting Medicare for All.

I approve this message, because this is personal to me.
