GOP super PAC hits Dem House hopeful as 'Pelosi liberal' in new Kansas ad


BY MAX GREENWOOD - 08/16/18 09:28 AM EDT



A Republican super PAC aligned with House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is out with a new ad hitting Democratic House hopeful Sharice Davids as an ally of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

The 30-second television spot by the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) also takes aim at Davids' support for a single-payer health care system, while contrasting her with her Republican opponent, incumbent Rep. Kevin Yoder.

"Kevin Yoder is an independent leader, putting Kansas families first," a narrator says in the ad. "Yoder supported the Balanced Budget Amendment and led by example, cutting his office budget and returning nearly four-hundred-grand to taxpayers."

"Sharice Davids supports a government takeover of health care that would nearly double the national debt. It’s why Nancy Pelosi’s allies have spent seven-hundred-grand backing Davids," the spot continues. "Sharice Davids is a Pelosi liberal."

1. CNN: "New poll suggests attacks on Nancy Pelosi won't matter in midterms"

Republican House candidates have attacked their Democratic opponents over their future potential vote to make Nancy Pelosi the speaker of the House again. Many Democrats fearing potential electoral repercussions have responded by pledging not to vote for Pelosi, if they are elected.

CNN's new poll suggests that Democrats may be overreacting. While the California Democrat remains a very unpopular figure, her impact on people's votes this November looks like it's going to be minimal.

Just 34% of registered voters say that Pelosi will be an extremely or very important factor in their vote this fall. That ranks dead last of the 10 factors asked about by CNN.
