Dayton's done it three times. Entenza did it for the fifth time Wednesday. But Kelliher? Not yet.
DFL candidate for governor Margaret Anderson Kelliher is the only one of the three major Democrats vying in an August primary who has yet to run television ads.
"We are going up after the 4th of July," Kelliher spokesman Matt Swenson said Wednesday. When pointed out to him that "after the 4th of July" could mean anything between today and Aug. 9, Swenson declined to offer any more specifics.
Swenson said that the campaign hadn't yet bought air time but would run ads statewide.
Dayton's latest two ads are here.
Entenza, who has long run campaign ads and has spent significant resources to get his message out, released his fifth ad Wednesday.
The new ad focuses on education and features, for the first time, the visage of his running mate -- Robyne Robinson. (Robinson voiced a previous ad.) Entenza's ad on education is not unexpected. He held a news conference on the subject earlier this month, then released a mailer on it and now is spreading the word on the air.
Here's the ad:
