Republicans who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy face new ad onslaught

Three House Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy are facing a new onslaught on the airwaves, as an outside group with ties to a McCarthy ally launches new ads targeting them over border security funding.

American Prosperity Alliance, a nonprofit advocacy group, has placed nearly $700,000 in ad spending targeting Reps. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Bob Good of Virginia and Eli Crane of Arizona, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact. The group also spent more than $90,000 targeting Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, a top general election target for the GOP.

The group, which was founded 2022, announced an effort Wednesday targeting members of Congress “who have voted against funding for enhanced border security in the past,” it said in a news release.

The group launched two ads targeting Good and Mace, with each spot saying they “voted against funding our border security, opposed billions for ICE, opposed millions for new technology, opposed thousands of new border agents.” The ads point to their votes against a sweeping government spending package, which 112 House Republicans opposed.
