Mayoral candidate Lisa Howze makes splash with Super Bowl ad

Mayoral candidate and state Rep. Lisa Howze premiered a Super Bowl campaign ad just before the second half of the Sunday night’s game, showing she can raise money with the big dogs – Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon and former Detroit Medical Center CEO Mike Duggan.

Once considered a longshot, Howze has burst onto the scene as a serious contender and a fresh face.

The commercial shows scenes from Detroit and Howze talking about a brighter future.

“Our spirit has been tested, but not defeated,” the first-term state rep said in the ad. “You deserve better, and it will get better.”

At the end, Howze proclaimed: “In 2013, say no to the status quo.”
