UPDATE: A reader identifies the person in the ad as Doug Rounds, Mike’s brother. I will admit, I was skeptical also if it was Mike, because the way this person ends sentences is different then Mike’s voice.
Not sure if it is him (towards the end of the ad, not the beginning speaker) but if it is, he is violating US Senate Ethics Rules (Pages 8-9; DOC;EthicsOverview_Booklet).This one sticks out;
- May not allow name to be used by an entity providing professional services.
There may be a little wiggle room here if it is him. First off he doesn’t use his name (I am Mike Rounds trying to sell you insurance) though it is his agency. And the sell job is done by another announcer, but still a slippery place to be. I remember as sitting governor he did PSA’s for supplemental insurance (that his agency sells) those ads quickly disappeared after it was brought to his attention. These might just mysteriously go bye, bye to.

This can’t happen. Next thing you know twisting and turning a sign board while dancing on street corners.
That’s his brother Doug, you moron.
I wondered if it was a family member. As you know from the post we were just asking the question. But one has to wonder, why not use the same person for the entire commercial instead of someone that ‘sounds’ like Mike. Or why didn’t Doug identify himself? But I am glad you clarified.
Yes, the younger Mr. Rounds should have identified himself, but that the slew of Brothers Rounds share similar voices should not be held against them.
Sounds like Senator Mike to me.
