2024 dark horse GOP presidential candidate Doug Burgum launches campaign with $3-million ad buy

Washington —North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who joined the rapidly growing field of 2024 Republican presidential contenders this week, is making his first TV and radio ad buy as a candidate — a $3-million blitz that will air in the early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire market over the next two weeks, according to his campaign.

The buy will be a mix of 60-second spots that are a shorter version of Burgum's announcement video and 15-second spots that "emphasize his focus on the economy, energy and national security," according to a Burgum spokesman.
