Tom Horner, the Independence Party's backed candidate for governor, announced today that he'll run his first ads this week. In a news release, Horner's campaign announced that the ads will cost $30,000 a week and will run in the Twin Cities metro area and in other markets.
Two things to note about the ad. It doesn't mention that Horner was a long-time Republican in the ad. It also mentions Horner's business experience. Horner, a public relations professional, refuses to disclose his full client list.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy.
