Billionaire Richard Uihlein is financing Lisa Demuth for Gov ads.


https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/billionaire-supporting-lisa-demuth-campaign-120040592.html

I am getting literally carpet BOMBED, by the unbelieveably abrasive-annoying /Stupid Lisa Demuth ads...
I'm in N. Minn.

Are the L.Demuth ads running in the TC Metro??
I am in the Duluth/Superior TV area.

Maybe it is an outstate thing?.... thanks for any input!

It might be more likely that the ads are running outside the Twin Cities, since Demuth won't get a lot of votes in these parts anyhow.

not where Demuth voters live. I don't recall seeing any for the other Republican governor candidate or for any of their Senate candidates.

There's been a lot of Craig ads run, not as many for Flanagan - difference in the money situations, I'm sure.

What are you seeing in the senate race?

A.Craig ads! I don't think I'll see any Flanagan ads--as I think she is
focusing in the cities
For Gov. I think Amy Klobuchar would dominate either of the R clowns in
the Metro, especially after their earlier horrifying ICE comments! And
Trumps unpopularity--Kinda the Same for the Senate!
