Bucks coach Doc Rivers narrates new ad for Kamala Harris aimed at Milwaukee voters
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers narrates a new television advertisement for Vice President Kamala Harris that will play during sporting events in Wisconsin, the campaign announced Sunday.
“In this town, we’ve seen our share of hard times, heard our share of big promises,” Rivers, who is not seen in the ad, says in a voiceover. “But empty promises don’t build cities. We do — with grit, sweat and cold beer.”
The ad refers to the Foxconn deal championed by Trump, which was billed to create up to 13,000 jobs in Mount Pleasant, about 30 miles south of Milwaukee. A video played at the Democratic National Convention also took aim at Trump over the unfulfilled promises of Foxconn.
The ad also focuses on former President Donald Trump’s comment earlier this year calling Milwaukee a “horrible city” ahead of the Republican National Convention, hosted at Fiserv Forum.
Trump praised Milwaukee while campaigning at Discovery World earlier this month and plans to hold a rally at Fiserv Forum later this week.
In the final 10 days of the presidential race, Trump is also expected to roll out a Wisconsin sports figure: Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will be a special guest speaker at Trump’s rally in Green Bay on Wednesday.
Rivers campaigned with second gentleman Doug Emhoff last week, where he shared a story of meeting Harris when she was the California attorney general and he coached the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Harris campaign says the new ad will target sports fans on channels like Fox Sports, CBS Sports and Sling. A similar ad is airing in Philadelphia.
The Trump campaign also announced a two-minute ad that will air during the Philadelphia Eagles-Cincinnati Bengals game Sunday, featuring UFC CEO Dana White’s remarks at the RNC.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
