Paul Ryan, who is running in two races this fall, one for the vice presidency and another to retain his Wisconsin House seat, released his third congressional campaign ad on Wednesday.

The simple 30-second spot, which began airing in TV markets in Madison and Milwaukee on Wednesday morning, shows Ryan in a small, town-hall-like setting talking to voters.

The ad campaign for the House seat, for which he retains a lead over Democratic challenger Rob Zerban, is paid for by his congressional campaign, but nonetheless helps out the Romney-Ryan presidential effort in Wisconsin, a state where Republicans are hoping to pull off an upset victory for the Romney-Ryan ticket in November.
