Joan Barry’s Senate campaign runs Bosnian radio ad
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Barry
State Senate hopeful Joan Barry is targeting Bosnian voters with an ad in their native language.
The minute-long radio spot is set to run on 770 AM, which has two Bosnian-themed shows. Barry, a Democrat, is running against Republican Jim Lembke in a district that includes a heavily Bosnian section of south St. Louis.
Barry is not the first St. Louis politician to tailor their pitch to the area’s foreign-born population — both Mayor Francis Slay and former State Rep. Yaphett El-Amin have had signs in Bosnian.
It would’ve been more impressive if Barry did the ad herself.
