Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Calley is launching a campaign ad that will run for nearly three weeks on network and cable TV stations.
The 30-second ad begins airing Friday. It makes Calley, the state's lieutenant governor, the first Republican to buy ad time on broadcast TV - which has broader reach. Democrat Shri Thanedar also is airing ads.
Calley's ad shows him jogging through a town, with more people gradually joining in.
He says Michigan's conservative reforms have led to the creation of more than 500,000 jobs.
Calley says the job is not finished, though, and "we're just getting started."
Calley is among four main Republicans running for governor.
Attorney General Bill Schuette is seen as the front-runner, with the primary five months away.
