In a 30-second spot that plays heavy on a unity theme but light on specific campaign promises, Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton released his first campaign commercial this week in his bid for Memphis Mayor.

The ad, titled "One Memphis," uses footage gathered at a rally last week at a campaign headquarters opening event. It will air on the major networks throughout Memphis this week.

"There is absolutely nothing we cannot overcome if we work toward that goal as one Memphis," Wharton says to a room of rousing supporters, cast against an epic-sounding score.
