Political Artifacts

I am looking at the campaign of democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren and two of her campaign artifacts. The first artifact is from Elizabeth Warren's campaign blog regarding her appearance at a human rights campaign dinner. In the blog post, Warren is established as a candidate who will fight for gay rights, saying "Elizabeth would be more than just another vote for marriage equality and a fully inclusive employment non-discrimination law. She will help lead the charge, to be an LGBT ally not just some of the time, but all of the time". This attempts to portray Warren as a defender of civil liberties and rights for all.

The second artifact is Warren's campaign video, entitled "No One". In this ad, Warren continues to portray herself as the champion of the middle class. The video shows Warren fighting against large banks and cites her work in consumer protection. This campaign ad falls very much in line with the rest of the rhetoric of Warren's campaign, as she, above all, wants to establish her image as being on the side of the little guy.

Both of these artifacts are attempts by Warren to target the generally democratic population of Massachusetts, hitting her main talking points of equality and fairness.
