Margaret Anderson Kelliher released her second television ad on YouTube Sunday, and it’s set to bring its jabs at Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s presidential aspirations to the air today. And on Saturday, the corporate-backed GOP group MN Forward announced an independent television ad in support of Tom Emmer; it’ll hit the airwaves on Monday as well.

“For eight long years, Minnesota has had a governor focused on his presidential ambitions rather than our students, seniors, and working families,” Kelliher said in a press release for the ad. “As your next governor, I will focus on creating good jobs, great schools, and ensuring we have safe roads and bridges. Because being Governor isn’t about scoring political points – it’s about improving people’s lives and getting Minnesota back to work.”
