Nebraska Republican US senate candidate Don Stenberg is fighting back against claims of negative campaigning.
Stenberg stopped in Scottsbluff yesterday to meet with potential voters.
The current state treasurer defended his recent campaign ads saying they are addressing important issues.
At least one other Republican candidate has accused Stenberg and Attorney General John Bruning of negative campaigning.
But Stenberg says he is just bringing up information important to people in Nebraska.
"These are all legitimate issues in the us senate campaign and Nebraskans, before they vote, have a right to know the candidates position on these issues."
Besides Bruning, Stenberg is running against State Senator Deb Fischer and businessman Pat Flynn for the Republican nomination.
