Terri Lynn Land: AdWatch: Grew up in a trailer park, then managed motels

On her campaign's YouTube page, Land uploaded a new video Monday called "Success Story" that resembles a TV ad. The 30-second video is designed to tout Land's humble roots and private-sector success, mentioning the trailer park and motel her grandparents owned where she worked.

She grew up in a trailer park and motel owned by her grandparents. Terri Lynn Land worked her way up from cleaning rooms at the motel to managing it. Terri earned a college degree, married and ran the motel," the narrator says.

Democrats plan to make the back story of the trailer park an issue during the campaign. Buzzfeed recently reported that her grandparents sold the trailer park in the mid-1990s to a family business interest which later decided to close it and rezone the land for commercial use, forcing families who lived there to leave.
