Retired U.S. Army Colonel Casey Wardynski, Republican candidate for Alabama’s fifth congressional district, on Wednesday released his campaign’s first television advertisement of the 2022 primary election cycle.

According to Wardynski’s campaign, the ad is accompanied with a “significant” districtwide cable and broadcast media buy.

The ad, titled “With Trump,” recalls Wardynski’s service in the armed forces and his time as assistant secretary of the Army in the administration of former President Donald Trump.

“President Trump placed special trust and confidence in his ability, conservative Casey Wardynski,” says the ad narrator. “Thirty-year veteran, retired colonel, Trump’s assistant secretary of the Army. Casey Wardynski stopped Critical Race Theory in the Army. When Republicans failed to build Trump’s wall, Casey Wardynski changed the hiring rules so 450 miles of wall could be built in record time. He’s tough. He’ll fight for Trump’s agenda. Conservative Casey Wardynski for Congress.”

In a release, Wardynski campaign manager Chad Niblett spoke to the candidate’s Army background and work in assisting Trump construct the wall along the southern border.

“With more cash on hand for the primary than any other Republican candidate, our campaign is excited to share Casey’s story and conservative message throughout the district,” stated Niblett. “Casey Wardynski proudly served our country in the Army, rising to the rank of Colonel. When President Trump needed a strong conservative by his side as Assistant Secretary of the Army, he appointed Casey to serve in the Pentagon. And when President Trump was sick of weak-kneed Republicans for not building his wall, Casey Wardynski changed the hiring rules to get 450-miles of wall built in record time.”

The primary election will take place on May 24, 2022.
