Republican Jeb Bush's presidential campaign has made its first television ad buy, targeting New Hampshire voters with a round of spots that promote the former Florida governor's record.

The campaign has bought $500,000 worth of ads on Boston broadcast television, WMUR in New Hampshire and cable across the state to run Sept. 9-29, campaign spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said. Campbell said 15 percent of the initial placement was also dedicated for online advertising.
