Fischer to start running 60-second ad next week

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Greg Fischer's campaign will begin running a new 60-second ad called "The Change" starting Monday, a campaign announcement says.

That new commercial will run in six markets across the state. This would be Fischer's second ad, following his introductory spot called "The Promise" which shows Fischer, the CEO of stadium seating company Dant Clayton Co., walking through his factory talking with workers.  

Both Fischer and Democratic opponent Bruce Lunsford, who is leading in recent SurveyUSA polls, will attend the Hillbilly Days celebration in Pikeville on Saturday.

They are two of the seven candidates vying for the Democratic nomination to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell in November.
