FT. COLLINS—Stan Matsunaka will begin airing ads on broadcast TV this Monday, September 16.

"I'm the first Congressional candidate on Colorado TV, but I'm sure I won't be the last," joked Matsunaka. "This positive TV spot highlights my strong fiscally conservative Colorado values, and my dedication to family and community."

Matsunaka campaign manager Jim Merlino said, "This spot presents positive information about Stan Matsunaka, and I'm looking forward to a positive campaign based on the issues of improving education, protecting Social Security, and providing affordable and accessible health care and prescription drugs."

The spot was created by Strother Duffy Strother media consultants, and is available for viewing online at: www.Stan2002.com/ad_success.html.

All media outlets have permission to use and air any part of the Matsunaka ad for their coverage of Colorado's 4th Congressional District.

Stan Matsunaka is 48 years old and graduated from Fort Morgan High School and Colorado State University.
