Wealthy businessman John Delaney is on the air with his first TV ad in the race for the Democratic nomination in Maryland’s 6th district.

The $91,000 ad buy will run district wide on cable and broadcast TV and is a biographical spot noting that his father was a union electrician. Delaney has a self-made fortune, and the ad is clearly an attempt to expand his image beyond that of a wealthy businessman.
