Second Congressional District Democratic candidate Will Shafroth's second television ad, which began airing on cable Tuesday, highlights his recent endorsement by the Rocky Mountain News.

The ad is part of what Shafroth manager Lynea Hansen called a "significant" cable ad buy; it will also be aired on broadcast TV in the coming days, she said.

The ad, entitled "Quotes," offers passages from the Rocky's endorsement of Shafroth in the CO-2 Democratic primary. The Rocky's endorsement was published last Friday.

Hansen said the new ad "is tied to existing and additional buys on cable for now and network in the coming days."

The cable ad buys run through the August 12 primary; Hansen declined to give the cost of the ad buys.

Transcript of "Quotes": 

Announcer: The Rocky Mountain News knows the change we need, endorsing Will Shafroth for Congress.

Shafroth "could add a needed perspective to the Washington debate", with his "level-headed approach"," realism on critical issues such as health care and trade", "proven ability to work with people across the political spectrum."

The Rocky Mountain News says, "Which candidate has the skills to best excel in Washington's ego-heavy arena. We think the answer is clear."

Will Shafroth: I'm Will Shafroth, and I approve this message.
