CD1 candidate Heinrich to run first TV ad Thursday

Democratic 1st Congressional District candidate Martin Heinrich will begin running his first TV ad of the primary election season on Thursday.

Here’s the ad:

It’s a simple, introductory ad that identifies Heinrich as “the son of an electrician and a factory worker” who has worked to raise the minimum wage in Albuquerque and clean up the water in the city’s South Valley.

“Now Martin Heinrich is running for Congress to fight for new priorities – to bring our troops home from Iraq and focus on families here,” the ad’s narrator states.

The ad prominently displays the campaign’s Web address – martinheinrich.com – and includes a well-placed note that Heinrich has been endorsed by the Albuquerque Journal. It’s the first TV ad from any candidate in the 1st District Democratic primary.
