Congressional candidate Doug Pike became the first Democrat to hit the airwaves in the 6th District primary battle against Manan Trivedi, debuting a 30-second spot Monday that emphasizes his plan to create jobs and clean up Wall Street.

The ad will run on broadcast and cable in the region, according to a press release from his campaign.

The contest between Pike and Trivedi has been heated and competitive, with neither candidate emerging the clear favorite. Trivedi has picked up the endorsements of most local Democrats, including some who earlier supported Pike. But the former Inquirer editorial writer does enjoy a significant cash advantage over Trivedi and the support of many local labor unions.
