"Local Kansas Mom" in This Conservative Attack Ad Is a Top State Republican Official
?
Alana Roethle claims shes worried about keeping her community safe. In Risky, a 30-second video ad released on Friday, the concerned mother of four warns that Sharice Davids, an openly gay Native American woman vying to unseat Kansas Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder, supports an extreme agenda that would put families at risk.
Yet Roethle and the ads backer, the Congressional Leadership Fund, failed to disclose that shes been secretary for the Kansas Republican Party since January 2017. The state partys website also notes that Roethle was an alternate delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention, that she attended President Donald Trumps inauguration, and that shes been active in state GOP politics since 2010.
Davids would stand with Pelosi to oppose tougher border security. And Davids wants to eliminate ICE, the law enforcement agency that deports criminal illegal aliens. Davids even said our police departments are rooted in violence. Sharice Davids is too risky for Kansas families, Roethle says in the spot.
In a press release announcing the ad, the Congressional Leadership Fund, a conservative SuperPAC affiliated with House Speaker Paul Ryan that aims to keep Republicans in control of the House, doesnt mention Roethles GOP connections. Rather, shes just a local Kansas mom discussing why Sharice Davids extreme, liberal agenda is too risky for Kansas families.
