Beshear Campaign Launches Attack Ad

  • {Kentucky}...Democratic Governor Steve Beshear's campaign began airing a TV ad on Friday accusing Republican challenger David Williams of lavish spending as president of the state Senate. The Beshear team began running the ad days after Williams put up a spot accusing Beshear of failing to create jobs over the past four years. Williams said in a statement Friday that he has cut legislative spending substantially since becoming leader of the Senate a decade ago. He accused Beshear of using the attack ad "to cover up his abysmal record of job creation." Polls show Beshear with a big lead over challengers David Williams and Gatewood Galbraith.
