Thursday, November 09, 2006 11th-Hour Campaign Ad Blitz Credited With Helping Fields
TULSA, Okla. (AP) Campaign officials for the two labor commissioner candidates say a last minute _ 100-thousand-dollar _ blitz of T-V ads pushed Lloyd Fields to an upset win over Brenda Reneau.
Fields spent nearly 60 percent of his campaign money in the final eight days of the race to buy T-V ads in which he criticized the Republican Reneau for not working in the office.
Reneau has rheumatoid arthritis and says she worked from home when she didn't feel well and was always available when needed.
She calls the last minute ads "nasty."
