Congressman Jason Altmire (D-4) was set to take his campaign for a third term to the airwaves on Tuesday.

Altmire is starting with an ad buy on cable television, according to someone familiar with the buy. The precise size of the buy remains unclear, and a video copy of the ad could not immediately be obtained.

His first air deployment comes as he enjoys a significant financial advantage over Republican challenger Keith Rothfus.
