Win local elections with affordable TV advertising

Local and state campaigns can now afford TV advertising. Reach voters where they watch—on streaming, cable, and broadcast.

Grassroots political candidate engaging with diverse group of constituents in suburban community setting, representing local and state election campaign TV advertising for city council, school board, and legislature races.

TV advertising is the most effective way to reach voters—but it has always been expensive. National campaigns spend millions. Local campaigns get priced out. Adwave changes that by making TV accessible for city council races, school board campaigns, and state legislature candidates.

Why political campaigns use TV advertising

  • Reach voters where they are: Voters still watch TV—especially news, sports, and primetime programming. TV ads reach people who may not be active on social media or reading mailers.

  • Build name recognition fast: In local races, name recognition wins elections. TV advertising gets your name and face in front of voters repeatedly.

  • Target by district or county: Advertise only in the areas where your voters live. No wasted spend on audiences outside your district.

  • Fast turnaround for time-sensitive campaigns: Launch ads within 24 hours. Perfect for responding to opponents, highlighting endorsements, or making a final push before election day.
