SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- More than a dozen Black mayors, including San Francisco's London Breed, are being featured in a new Joe Biden for President national ad series.
The campaign released a series of ads featuring 14 Black U.S. mayors for what it calls a direct message to Black men and women about utilizing their collective power as voters during the 2020 election.
It's the latest in a push nationally and in key battleground states to educate and energize Black voters, said the campaign in a release.
The 60-second "Mayors" ad begins airing Saturday on television, radio, and digital outlets across the country.
