Lincoln, who has also used the outsourcing claims against Halter, on Saturday called the ad offensive, and Halter's campaign said it should never appear on television. DeMaura says his group has bought more than $900,000 worth of airtime to run the 30-second spot in the Little Rock, Fort Smith and Jonesboro television markets. The ad began appearing on Arkansas television stations on Monday, the start of early voting for the May 18 primary. Americans for Job Security calls itself an independent, pro-business advocacy group. The organization has also run ads in Colorado on behalf of Republican Ken Buck's Senate bid. Halter and Lincoln have been targeted by outside groups in their fight for the Democratic nomination in Arkansas, and the two rivals have been engaged in a constant exchange of negative advertisements. Eight Republicans are seeking the GOP nomination for Lincoln's Senate seat.
