Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan (R-WI) will spend $2 million on TV ads asking Wisconsin voters to send him back to the House of Representatives.

Ryan’s congressional campaign manager Kevin Seifert confirmed that House Budget Committee chairman plans to spend $1.5 million on ads on local broadcast stations and cable in Milwaukee. The campaign will spend an additional $500,000 on ads in Madison between Oct. 18 and Nov. 6. On the Milwaukee NBC affiliate alone, Ryan for Congress has already spent $65,000 on ad buys this month, according to records filed with the Federal Communications Commission. The ads will air from Sept. 12 through Sept. 25 on programs including local news broadcasts, Meet the Press, The Tonight Show, and Sunday Night Football. The ads will be funded by his congressional campaign committee, which had $5.4 million in its coffers in July, before he was named as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s running mate.
