Equal pay for women is one of Clinton’s main topics of conversation on the 2016 trail, and her campaign on Tuesday night unveiled a new television ad specifically on the topic, airing in New Hampshire and Iowa.

Each of the four ads feature one working woman in New Hampshire or Iowa who, according to the advertisement, faces a few institutional challenge that Clinton is fighting to rectify.
The ads are simple, similar to each other and rely on a single shot of the women doing their jobs.
The ads make it clear Clinton will keep up her focus on Republicans, with scant attention paid to her primary challengers.
“It took Alexis four years to earn her college degree, but it will take her 25 years to pay off her student loans”, Clinton says. “Join the fight to make college affordable. Join the fight for Cheryl”.
Campaigning in New Hampshire on Wednesday, the Democratic front-runner says: “We’re all on the same team, Republicans or Democrats or whatever we will call ourselves”.
Clinton has gained in the polls since her debate performance and her success in the House Benghazi Committee hearing last week, and an average of national polls show her about 23 percentage points ahead of Sanders. They will continue to be aired in the days following the debate.

Her campaign aides will likely watch the debate, however, offering real-time commentary and critiques on Twitter and other outlets from the campaign’s Brooklyn headquarters.
