Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Frieds gubernatorial campaign is highlighting critical moments and figures in womens rights in a new statewide ad.

The video features clips of marchers, suffragists, womens rights icons such as Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, as well as notable women politicians such as U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The images run up to the present day, with scenes from protests spurred by the U.S. Supreme Courts decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

The ads backing track is I Wont Back Down by Tom Petty and Fried reiterated the theme of the late 1980s hit in a news release announcing the ad.

This is the most important message weve ever released, Fried said. I am standing on the shoulders of all these trailblazing women and so is every other woman and ally fighting for womens rights. We wont back down. We wont back down. We wont back down.

Her campaign also noted that the ex-wife of the late Gainesville-born musician, Jane Benyo Petty, has endorsed Fried in the Democratic Primary for Governor.

Benyo Pettys endorsement, offered up on Twitter two weeks ago, was succinct: We need a good woman Governor who cares.
