Morales Launches TV Ad

Sen. Howie Morales became the latest -- and probably the last -- Democratic candidate for governor to enter the TV ad arena.

He released "Believe," a 30-second spot. earlier today.

It's a positive ad with soft guitar music that doesn't mention any of his Democratic opponents.  His only mention of the Republican incumbent is Morales saying "I know I can defeat Susana Martinez and bring world-class education to New Mexico."

It's probably a coincidence, but only minutes after Morales' campaign announced the ad, the Martinez campaign emailed one of its opposition research "Voter Guides," this one about Morales. It said "Sen. Howie Morales Represents Fringe Of His Party."

As a senator, he also represents Silver City.
