Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders will start running his first television ads in Iowa and New Hampshire this Tuesday. The ad campaign will cost the Vermont independent more than $2 million and portray him as a veteran fighter of inequality and injustice, according to the Associated Press.
The minute-long segment introduces Sanders to potential Democratic voters, starting off by telling viewers that he is the "son of a Polish immigrant, who grew up in a Brooklyn tenement."
The commercial then highlights Sanders' work as the mayor of Vermont city and in Congress, saying he stood up for working Americans, opposed the Iraq War and supported veterans.
It notes that his campaign is "funded by over a million contributions" as he takes "on Wall Street and a corrupt political system."
It also shows footage of his rallies around the nation, which have been some of the biggest of any presidential contender.
"People are sick and tired of establishment politics and they want real change!" the video shows Sanders saying at one event.
After running the ad in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders' campaign said it plans to air it in other states, NBC News reported.
Sanders raised $26.2 million in the third quarter, with more than 88 percent coming from donations of $200 or less, according to The New York Times. As of the middle of October, he had $27.1 million in the bank.
That's compared to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's $29.9 million haul in the third quarter. She had $33 million cash on hand.
