A Bunch of Guys Running in Democratic Primaries Are Attacking EMILY's List

snip//

Ahead of Kansas’ August 7 primary, EMILY’s List has spent $400,000 on an ad campaign touting the credentials of Sharice Davids, a gay Native American activist, attorney, and former Obama White House fellow running for Congress in Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District. The ads drew ire from supporters of Brent Welder, a Bernie Sanders-backed Democratic candidate and Davids’ biggest challenge. When Sanders campaigned for his former delegate in July, he took a dig at Davids’ backers. “We don’t want to be supportive of candidates who simply raise money from the wealthy and then put 30-second ads on TV,” Sanders said.
