Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, will begin running television ads for his congressional re-election campaign, the Associated Press reports:
Contracts formalized Tuesday with at least one Milwaukee television station show that Ryan's congressional ads will start airing Wednesday morning and go initially for two weeks.
