You may never have heard of Billy Harper, but the Republican is spending millions to change that.

With the 2007 filing deadline about a month away, Harper is the only gubernatorial candidate already running television ads.

The Paducah businessman said in a recent interview that the five ads he's run so far, with more still to come, are aimed at boosting his name recognition and focusing the debate early on education.
