DFL gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton released his first campaign ad Monday. It's a 60-second spot that talks about his history in the state and what he wants to do as governor. It will run for two weeks in the Twin Cities, Duluth, Fargo-Moorhead, Rochester, Mankato and on cable.

Here's a transcript of the ad:
He's just driven 9,000 miles to every Minnesota county talking with seniors, workers, farmers.
Mark Dayton has taken his campaign to the people, where wisdom in Minnesota is found.
His roots go deep in our state. Generations have shopped at his family's Dayton's and Target stores. As an all-state goalie, he learned the value of hard work.
All his life he's had the courage to do what he believes is right.
From teaching in a New York City public school to funding bus trips of seniors to Canada for cheaper prescription drugs, to voting against the Iraq war in the U.S. Senate — It's the courage we need to repair the damage Tim Pawlenty has done.
