Why Do Political Campaigns Use So Many Ads?

Political ads are like little messages that help people remember who is running for office. Imagine you’re trying to choose your favorite ice cream flavor, the more times you see a picture of it, the more likely you’ll pick that one. That’s what political ads do: they repeat names and promises over and over so people can remember them easily.
