More than a dozen Black mayors are being featured in a new Joe Biden for President national ad series.

The campaign released a series of ads featuring 14 Black U.S. mayors for what it calls a direct message to Black men and women about utilizing their collective power as voters during the 2020 election.

It's the latest in a push nationally and in key battleground states to educate and energize Black voters, said the campaign in a release.
