DAY AFTER GOP PRIMARY, BARBER RELEASES FIRST NEW CD8 GENERAL ELECTION AD

Democrat Ron Barber released the first general election CD8 ad today, a day after the GOP primary revealed Jesse Kelly as the party pick to face Barber.

Barber ran unopposed in his primary, and Green Party candidate Charles Manolakis beat a write-in candidate from his party to move on to the general election June 12.

The ad is an introduction to Barber, with a focus on the issues his campaign says are most important to voters in the district.

Kelly bought commercial air time during the primary election, and his ads were still airing late Tuesday night. Barber's is the first new ad of the general election cycle in this race, and is also Barber's campaign TV premiere.

Watch the ad:
