More ads in 1st District

Last week DFL Rep. Tim Walz rolled out his first TV ad of the 2010 election.

Today Rep. Randy Demmer, R-Hayfield, who's challenging Walz, unveiled 3 new radio spots. Two of Demmer's radio ads directly criticize Walz; one for supporting the health care overall and the other for expanding the scope and cost of government.

The Demmer campaign did not say how much its ad buy cost but says the ads will run for two weeks on radio stations throughout southern Minnesota.

The ads are audio only, but Demmer's campaign released them on You Tube.
