West Wing ‘walk & talk’ web ad for MI Supreme Court race

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

From The Last Word blog: A handful of actors from the Emmy award-winning TV series West Wing reprised their
roles in a campaign ad for the real-life sister of Mary McCormack, a.k.a Deputy
National Security advisor Kate Harper. This is some heavy hitter advertising for a down ballot judicial race. 'West Wing' reunites to walk and talk the vote:

Bridget Mary McCormack is running for Michigan state Supreme Court.
In a sketch littered with inside jokes, The West Wing team came together
to bring attention to the not-so-sexy issue of filling out the
non-partisan section of the voting ballot. This is how Michigan and 14
other states select their supreme court justices. As Bradley Whitford,
who reprised his role as Josh Lyman, explains, “In non-partisan
elections all across America, voters are leaving part of their ballot
blank. And they don’t even know it.”

So who is Bridget Mary
McCormack? According to the ad, she's a "married mother of four, dean at
Michigan law. Bridget has spent her entire career fighting for justice
for ordinary people for families with sick kids. For families of
domestic violence. She's fought to free innocent men and women and get
the actual criminals behind bars."

And in a TV-turned-reality twist, McCormack's husband, Steve Croley, currently works in the real West Wing as deputy counsel in the White House Counsel's Office.
