WASHINGTON — Democratic Louisiana Senate candidate Gary Chambers on Tuesday released his first campaign ad, a video showing him smoking marijuana and advocating for its legalization. “Every 37 seconds someone is arrested for possession of marijuana,” said Chambers in the video. pic.twitter.com/G0qKvmUGKD — Gary Chambers (@GaryChambersJr) January 18, 2022Republican and Democratic Senate campaign operatives say they believe this is the first Senate race ad featuring a candidate openly smoking marijuana. It’s one of the greatest things I’ve seen,” said Ben Pollara, a Democratic Senate campaign veteran who ran Florida’s successful medical marijuana initiative in 2018.
