GOP senator's new ad doesn't mention she paid woman praising her $380,000

By Dan Desai Martin -May 1, 2020 12:24 PM

Sen. Martha McSally's former staffer is starring in a campaign ad after being paid nearly $400,000 over the years.

Not only does a new campaign ad for Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) feature Kristen Douglas, McSally's former staffer, lying about McSally's position on protecting people with preexisting conditions — the ad also fails to disclose that Douglas formerly worked for McSally and was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, according to a recent report from the Arizona Republic.

"Martha McSally will fight tirelessly to make sure that people with preexisting conditions are insured," Douglas, a cancer survivor, falsely claimed in the ad. "She's fighting for what's right when it comes to preexisting conditions, and making sure everybody has access to health care."

However, McSally has voted numerous times in Congress to take away health care protections from people with preexisting conditions.

Douglas says in the as that her "path collided" with McSally after battling cancer. The ad did not disclose that Douglas was McSally's campaign manager on her 2014 House race, McSally's deputy chief of staff from 2015 to 2017, and that she worked as a consultant for McSally's failed 2018 Senate campaign.

by voters - Sinema was declared the winner as her lead grew insurmountable during Arizona's lengthy vote-count - razor thin..but still a win by Sinema..

From your article..However, McSally has voted numerous times in Congress to take away health care protections from people with preexisting conditions.

Mark Kelly will take her to the woodshed..link to Mark Kelly website..good stuff..I think I am going to go broke..between monthly contributions to Kelly, many senators, my AZ CD5 Joan Greene vs A Biggs (eweee)..mr freedumb caucus chair..and of course JOE..
