The first debate in the 2011 Milwaukee County executive race was Friday at the Marquette University Law School. The school's faculty blog has a recap here.

The candidates are civic leader Chris Abele, Acting County Executive Lee Holloway, Rep. Jeff Stone (R-Greendale), former Sen. Jim Sullivan (D-Wauwatosa) and paralegal Ieshuh Griffin.

Today, OnMilwaukee.com has the first look at an Abele video ad that will run on local TV and online. Watch it here, and react via the Talkbacks below. As we receive other TV ads, we'll post them for reader comments, as well.

A primary election on Feb. 15 will narrow the field to two candidates, with the final election on April. 5.
