Gov. Chet Culver’s re-election campaign announced Tuesday it was launching its second television advertisement.

The ad will air in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids markets as well as some cable around the state. It is titled “Stronger Than Ever” and focuses on the governor’s response to last year’s flooding and to the state’s economic downturn.

“The new ad … puts the economic situation and recent budget decisions in context,” Culver campaign manager Andrew Roos said in a press release announcing the ad. “With the worst natural disaster in Iowa history, and the deepest economic downturn since the 1930s, Iowa has faced real challenges. Culver has taken these challenges head-on, managed the state responsibly and made smart investments that will help Iowa emerge from this storm stronger than ever.”

In the ad, Culver sounds like he’s running a politically conservative campaign, focusing on cutting spending and cutting his own salary, as well as emphasizing his decision against raising taxes.

Culver launched his first TV ad in mid October, focusing solely on his economic record.
