Ash Madia is up with his first radio ad, which is also the first ad in CD 3 this cycle. You can listen to the ad, called “Leadership”, here. A full transcript is below.
My name is Ashwin Madia, I’m a Marine Corp and Iraq War veteran, running for U.S. Congress to represent Minnesota’s 3rd district. I’m running for Congress because it’s time for our nation to live up to its ideals again and lead the world not through our size and our strength but because of what we stand for. We don’t need torture, secret prisons, and warrentless wiretapping in order to be safe. We can protect ourselves and protect our values at the same time. I believe that the United States must responsibly withdraw from Iraq so we don’t leave a disaster behind. Global Warming is a planetary emergency that our nation must lead the world in addressing and within this crisis there is great opportunity through new green technology to reinvigorate our economy. Finally I want to lead our party, the Democratic Party in standing up, showing courage and fighting for what we believe in, not shrinking from oversight duties during wartime. My name is Ashwin Madia and I would be honored to have your support at caucuses on February 5th. Visit madiaforcongress.com, M-A-D-I-A-F-O-R-congress.com, prepared and paid for by Madia for Congress. I’m Ashwin Madia and I approve this message.
This isn’t a huge buy (its only on Air America) but is does give you a sense of how MAdia frames his candidacy.

Very touching ad- Madia speaks from his heart.
Speaking of the radio ads in CD3 I just heard a Bonoff ad on Air America.
Roseville Dem,
I heard a rumor that she had an ad too, but I couldn’t find any mention of it on her website or anywhere else. If you find a link to the audio file, you should let us know.
Excellent ad, frankly. I hope he goes to a wider audience with it.
That’s a lot of words packed into 60 seconds. Good thing Air America listeners are intelligent enough to grasp it all. Most audio ads contain fewer concepts.
