A dentist from Chicago created a television advertisement promoting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a candidate for president in 2012, Politico reported Friday.
The ad, which cost William DeJean $5,000 to create, declares Clinton "has more experience working in and with the White House than most living presidents," and calls her "one of the most admired women in our nation's history."
"Let's make sure the president we should have elected in 2008 will be on the ballot in 2012," the ad reads.
The 30-second spot concludes, "Start now. Where there's a Hill, there's a way."
"I'm a dentist, and I don't think this country is headed in the right direction," DeJean, who contributed to Clinton's failed 2008 White House run, told CNN.
The commercial first ran in New Orleans on Wednesday, and DeJean said he hopes to also air it in Washington, New York and Los Angeles.
Clinton has said she will not make another presidential run, and most Americans agree with that decision. According to a Fox News poll released Friday, just 12 percent of voters would want Clinton to run for president in 2012.
