MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – The first television ad backing Republican Governor Scott Walker’s presidential campaign will begin airing in Iowa next week.
It highlights his 2011 battle with public sector unions.
The 60-second ad was released Thursday by the Unintimidated super PAC that announced it is spending $17 million in the next six months on an ad campaign backing Walker.
The ad will begin airing statewide in Iowa Tuesday, as part of a $7 million buy.
The ad comes as Walker is trying to regain ground in Iowa, after rocketing to a fast start earlier this year. He then fell to the middle of the pack in more recent polls.
The ad highlights Walker’s record as governor, including winning a 2012 recall spurred by effectively ending unions’ collective bargaining rights.
