The 1988 political ad for Democratic Party candidate Robert Ellsworth Wise features a series of scenes depicting an empty conference table with chairs, repetitively symbolizing the palpable absence and urgent need for collaborative leadership and unity among West Virginia's leaders to address state issues effectively. The recurring empty setting emphasizes the call for forming a leadership council to tackle unmet potential in problem-solving collaboratively.
