ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lawrence Rael says he’s launching a television ad.
The campaign announced the ad will be broadcast from Thursday to May 11.
Campaign spokesman Kyle Armstrong said Wednesday the ad (https://bit.ly/1kv1n3D ) will be broadcast across the state but not in Las Cruces and other areas covered by the El Paso television market.
Five Democrats are running for governor and Rael is the first to announce a TV ad in advance of the June 3 primary election. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has been airing campaign ads.
The ad doesn’t mention Martinez or the other Democratic candidates, but says Rael “sees New Mexico in a very different light.” The ad portrays Rael as a leader committed to improving the state.
Rael once was the city of Albuquerque’s chief administrative officer.
