The Democratic abortion rights group EMILY’s List is asking the Federal Election Commission to investigate a group that has run a television ad targeting a Democrat vying to challenge Republican Rep. David Schweikert in Arizona.
The ad accuses Marlene Galán-Woods, one of several Democrats running in Arizona’s 1st District, of stealing money and opposing gay rights and abortion access. It depicts Galán-Woods as a marionette and concludes by calling her “just another political opportunist.”
The ad, which aired several times in the Phoenix media market, was produced by Turn AZ Blue PAC. That sounds like a Democratic group but, according to a complaint EMILY’s List said it filed with the FEC on Wednesday, it is not affiliated with the party.
