Republican Pierce Bush is out with his first television ads in the hotly contested GOP primary battle for one of the Houston areas most competitive congressional seats.

Up until now, Republican Kathaleen Wall, who is largely self-funding her campaign, has been the only contender on area television in the battle for the 22nd Congressional District.

In Bushs new ad, he flashes images of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto ORourke talking about immigration reform proposals. Then Bush comes on the screen and warns: Democrats want open borders, and its dangerously naive.

His tough take on the border comes as many of the 15 Republicans running in the March 3 primary are also brandishing their tough immigration stances. Walls TV ads have promised to help build a border wall with President Donald Trump. Former Pearland City Councilman Greg Hill has touted his experience as a former Border Patrol agent. And Fort Bend Sheriff Troy Nehls, in announcing his campaign in a national TV interview, slammed Congress for not securing the nations porous border.

The ads come just days after Bush was endorsed in the primary by retiring U.S. Rep. Pete Olson, R-Sugar Land. Olson has held the seat since 2008. The 22nd District includes most of Fort Bend County, plus parts of Brazoria and Harris counties.

Bush, a grandson of the late President George H.W. Bush, has never run for office before. Hes been the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters and says that experience has taught him to be the kind of leader that can get things done in Congress.
