Wisconsin Democrats run ad in governor's race

MADISON (AP) - The Wisconsin Democratic Party is running its first television ad of the governor's race, attacking Republican candidate Scott Walker's decision to campaign after floods hit Milwaukee last weekend.

The ad shows Walker campaigning in Eau Claire instead of staying in Milwaukee County where he serves as county executive. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the main Democratic candidate for governor, stayed in the city over the weekend. The ad shows him meeting with flood victims.

The ad called "Barrett Led, Walker Fled" is slated to run in Eau Claire, Wausau and Green Bay.

Former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann is also running for governor as a Republican but the ad does not mention him.
