The first television ad of the 2010 gubernatorial race is on the air today, and it comes from Republican Doug Turner.
Here’s the 60-second ad:
There are actually three similar ads. In addition to the 60-second spot that began running on television today, there’s another version shortened to 30 seconds and a third that’s 15 seconds. The shorter ads aren’t on the air yet, but a source close to the Turner campaign said they will be soon.
The source didn’t say how much the campaign is spending to air the ads but said they are running “indefinitely.”
Turner is running in the GOP primary against state Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones, Doña Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez and former state GOP Chairman Allen Weh. The likely Democratic nominee is Lt. Gov. Diane Denish.
