Barbara Boxer launches super PAC attack on Issa

OAKLAND, Calif. — Just months after retiring from Congress, former California Sen. Barbara Boxer has already raised more than $1.3 million for a new super PAC aimed at helping Democrats regain control of Congress in the 2018 elections. And on Wednesday, she launches her first salvo — a blistering attack ad targeting GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, considered the most vulnerable House member in California.

The ad from Boxer’s PAC for a Change is the first in a new “Resist and Replace” campaign which the ex-senator promises will relentlessly target California Republicans who have been “cowering in the corner” as President Donald Trump attempts to dismantle programs such as the Affordable Care Act.
