A group calling itself Americans for a Better America has started running an advertisement in Southwest Missouri targeting the gubernatorial campaign of Treasurer Sarah Steelman. The ad says Steelman’s attacks against the record of her opponent, U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, are misleading and it tells voters to call Steelman to ask her to tell the truth.

Hulshof spokesman Scott Baker said he heard about the ad this morning and only knows as much about the group as is on the group’s web site. The web site says the group’s president is Arthur E. Fillmore II. Fillmore is a Kansas City lawyer who’s a 1975 graduate of the University of Missouri law school.
