GARDEN GROVE, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Political advertisements in this day and age have become filled with hatred, blaming, and scare tactics; but, one local candidate is changing the mood with his unique and unprecedented campaign video. Garden Grove Mayor Candidate, Phat Bui, has taken a whole new approach to campaigning, with his parody of the popular 90’s anthem from “Fresh Prince of Bel Air”, and it is going viral.The video has already attracted over 674 shares, 124,000 views, and countless comments wondering if Phat Bui is a real candidate. The music video tells Councilman Bui's story of fleeing to the United States as a refugee and pursuing the American Dream after Vietnam was taken over by the Viet Cong.
"Phat's someone who likes to have fun. I think everyone gets tired of seeing the nasty attacks ads during election season, so I think a video like this is a welcoming change of pace. Plus, everyone gets to see Phat dressed like a 90's rapper, which is awesome.” - George Brietigam, Councilman Bui's political consultant and the music video's director and lyricist.
The video created multiple conversations online ranging from positive feedback for its humor, creativity, and light-heartedness, to viewers questioning the seriousness of the campaign for not touching on polarizing topics.
"We have a campaign website where Phat explains his stances on several key issues, and we've also made our fair share of serious political advertisements," said Brietigam. "If you want to know Phat's stance on the issues, just ask him. He's very open and responsive. Every single ad doesn’t have to be some guy in a suit standing in front of city hall giving a lecture on their economic plan.”
One thing is for sure: Phat’s commitment to his community is unwavering; from policy to simply making someone smile, Phat Bui cares about Garden Grove.
