North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, having recently announced his presidential campaign, is launching two new TV ads in early GOP primary and caucus states Iowa and New Hampshire, with a $3 million investment. The first ad spotlights his small-town upbringing and successful business career, while the second outlines his political platform that includes fixing the economy, boosting American energy production, and bolstering the military to counter China.
