Minneapolis MN: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 R.T. RYBAK CAMPAIGN DEBUTS FIRST TV AD OF MAYORAL CAMPAIGN �I Want a Mayor� Ad Showcases Broad Support for R.T. Rybak Business consultant and Minneapolis Mayoral candidate R.T. Rybak today unveiled the first TV ad of the campaign season. The ad called �I Want a Mayor� features a broad cross section of Minneapolis residents putting �R.T. Rybak for Mayor� lawn signs in front of their homes, apartments and businesses. These residents each describe the qualities they�re looking for in a Mayor. (See transcript attached) �I�m thrilled with how it turned out. It reinforces our main message: the need for restoring fiscal discipline downtown, the need to reprioritize housing and basic city services. It�s all expressed under the broad theme we need a Mayor who�s in touch with people and their priorities,� Rybak said. The ad project was filmed in one day, with a small camera crew led by Thom Sandberg and a volunteer creative team going to all corners of Minneapolis to shoot footage. �The initial ad buy was significant and it features our campaign�s other most visible feature over 4000 lawn signs across Minneapolis,� Rybak concluded.
