BREAKING, WATCH: Bloomberg Blanket Covers Arizona With $600,000+ In Ads Over Next Eight Days

Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City Mayor and newly-announced Presidential candidate, will blanket Arizona's local airwaves with more than $600,000 in advertisements over the next eight days.

The Phoenix market will see the bulk of the spending - more than $588,000, while Tucson TV stations will probably also receive a six-figure spend.. The Bloomberg campaign is spending approximately $34M nationwide to introduce the multi-billionaire to the public.

Bloomberg announced his late candidacy for the Democratic nomination to face President Donald Trump yesterday.

Local airwaves will be showing the 60-second version of the ad, but here is the 2 minute version. (The 60-second edit is not posted on the campaign's site, but ABC reporter Kendall Karson tweeted the likely spot.)
