More than a year and a half before she faces re-election, Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is confronting a controversial radio ad barrage.

On Thursday, several stations temporarily pulled the ad after a complaint was lodged by Baldwin's campaign. But Iowa-based Americas PAC is doubling down on its attack against Baldwin and is moving forward with a $650,000 ad buy.

On Friday, three radio station groups returned the ad to the air.

"There's 12,000-plus ads that will run over the next five months," said Tom Donelson, treasurer of the PAC. "I hope she has fun. We're ready to fight over the next five months."

Donelson said funding for the ad was provided by Solutions for Wisconsin, a super-PAC that received a $2 million cash infusion from GOP mega-donor Richard Uihlein. Solutions for Wisconsin has endorsed U.S. Marine veteran and businessman Kevin Nicholson, who has not yet formally declared his candidacy for an expected Republican Party primary.
