Republican Marty Seifert is the first candidate for governor to run advertising in the 2010 race. Seifert says he's running two radio ads at roughly a dozen stations across the state including KTLK, The Patriot and the Lindner Farm Network.

Seifert said he's running the ads to remind Republicans that caucuses are being held in February this year. He said it's a part of his overall efforts to encourage his supporters to caucus on February 2nd.

"If you're going to run as a statewide candidate, we feel very strongly that you're going to have grassroots support," Seifert said. "But at the end of the day running for statewide office means you'll have to put some dollars forward..."

Seifert didn't disclose the size of the ad buy except to say it's five figures and it's closer to $10,000 than $99,000.
