Hillary Clinton scored big when she landed the ladies of Shondaland shows like How to Get Away With Murder, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal for a campaign ad, which was released on Thursday, March 10.
The ad stars Shonda Rhimes herself, as well as Viola Davis, Ellen Pompeo and Kerry Washington and it was directed by Scandal’s Tony Goldwyn (Fitzgerald Grant).
The 1-minute spot will air in Florida, Ohio and Illinois, the states that will vote in primaries on Tuesday, March 15. In it, they take turns describing Clinton as a “bonafide, rolls up her sleeves, fights for what’s right, in it for you, won’t back down, champion for all of us.”
A rep for ABC told Variety, “This was a paid political advertisement placed on a number of stations. Broadcasters are required by the FCC to carry these ads.”
Other celebrity endorsers of Clinton’s campaign include Lena Dunham and Katy Perry - and possibly Britney Spears.
