Pepper makes final push for Welch

Burlington, VT - Back by popular demand, Pepper makes one final TV appearance, staring in the final campaign commercial for Senator Peter Welch, candidate for U.S. Congress.

The ad, "Sic 'Em," is filmed from Pepper's view on the campaign trail and features an audio mix of Pepper and Vermonters greeting Welch as he campaigns.

"Pepper's been a great sport in this campaign that has brought us to every town in Vermont. We've met many Vermonters and the overwhelming message is the people of this state are ready for a change of direction in Washington," said Welch.

Pepper ends the spot with, "Peter will be a leader we can all look up to." The ad also includes Welch's endorsement by the Humane Society Legislative Fund.

The ad will run in conjunction with Welch's other final spots already on the air entitled "Leader," which features what it would be like to have a proven Vermont leader like Welch working for Vermonters in Congress, and "I Trust," featuring Vermonters saying why they support Welch.
