Pawlenty Releases New TV Ad

In addition to showing up in towns around the state, Tim Pawlenty will also be showing up on Iowa TV sets soon. Pawlenty is the first candidate to air a TV ad in Iowa. The ad will appear on cable systems across the state.

The ad buy is just $50,000. That doesn’t buy a lot statewide, but it should help Pawlenty increase his name ID in the First-in-the-Nation state. After investing heavily in staff and consultants in the state, Pawlenty has not seen his numbers grow in recent polls. The TV buy may help move those numbers.
