Frankfort, KY – Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear is touting job creation successes in two new re-election campaign television ads. In both spots, the incumbent Democrat promotes the economic incentives the Commonwealth has made available for business and industrial expansion. Neither ad makes specific claims about the number of jobs created. But both suggest Beshear has fostered a business-friendly climate in the state. Republican opponent David Williams' campaign manager Luke Marchant says the ads are misleading because Kentucky actually has lost tens of thousands of jobs under Beshear's leadership. Beshear campaign manager Bill Hyer hasn't said how much the campaign is spending to run the ads on statewide television.
