Thomas-Fields launches first television ad

Atlantic City mayoral candidate Pamela Thomas-Fields will launch her first, and likely only, television ad Wednesday.

The 60-second spot will run on local networks.

“I believe Atlantic City can succeed, that we can all become healthy, wealthy, and wise. Together we can make clean and safe streets a reality. Together we can build a resilient local economy,” Thomas-Fields says in the ad. “I won’t come to you with empty promises, instead I will offer a seat at the table, an opportunity to finally make your voice heard. My name is Pamela Thomas-Fields, your voice for change. Please vote for me for Mayor of Atlantic City in Column B of your mail-in ballot, postmarked by July 7.”

Fields is seeking to oust incumbent Mayor Marty Small, who took office after former Mayor Frank Gilliam resigned following a guilty plea to embezzling $87,000 from a youth basketball league he started.
