Mother used in ad attacking Kansas Dem candidate is state GOP official
Source: The Hill
A mother used in an attack ad to tear into a Kansas Democratic Congressional candidate is a top GOP official in the state.
In the advertisement, which comes from a super PAC linked to House Speaker Paul Ryan, Alana Roethle says she opposes Democratic House candidate Sharice Davids, whom she dubs “too risky for Kansas families,” McClatchy reported.
“As a mom of four, I care about about keeping our community safe. That’s why I oppose Sharice Davids," Roethle says, before saying that Davids supports an extreme agenda that would include abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The ad, however, does not disclose that Roethle is the secretary of Kansas's Republican party. She is also a member of the Kansas Lottery Commission who was appointed to her position in 2015, according to McClatchy.

Roethle was a delegate to the 2016 GOP convention, and she attended Trump's inauguration. But her reason for opposing the Democratic candidate is supposedly that she's a "mom of four" who's worried about "keeping our communiyt safe."
The ad was paid for by a super PAC connected to House GOP leadership, the Congressional Leadership Fund.
