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.

You can listen to the ad here.

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.
