Lawrence Rael<\/a> became today the first candidate in the lieutenant governor\u2019s race to spend money on television ads. The Democrat is out with an ad that focuses on his \u201cability to build relationships for a better New Mexico,\u201d according to a news release.<\/p>\n

The ad is airing on network television in the Albuquerque market and on cable throughout the state, according to the news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people around the state already know Lawrence\u2019s strong record of achievement,\u201d said Steve Wedeen of Vaughn Wedeen Kuhn, the Albuquerque-based agency that produced the spot.\u00a0\u201cWhat we wanted to show was the unique power of his leadership, from his personal warmth to his integrity and commitment.\u00a0We wanted to show Lawrence up close for the voters to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rael is running in the Democratic primary against former state Democratic Party Chairman\u00a0Brian Col\u00f3n<\/a>, State Rep.\u00a0Joe Campos<\/a> of Santa Rosa and state Sens.\u00a0Linda Lopez<\/a> and\u00a0Jerry Ortiz y Pino<\/a> of Albuquerque.<\/p>\n

Five Republicans have announced their candidacies for lieutenant governor \u2014 state Sen.\u00a0Kent Cravens<\/a> of Albuquerque, 2006 Republican gubernatorial candidate\u00a0J.R. Damron<\/a>, former state Rep.\u00a0Brian Moore<\/a> of Clayton, 2002 Republican gubernatorial nominee\u00a0John Sanchez<\/a> and Albuquerque nurse\u00a0Bea Sheridan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
