Earlier this month, Republicans launched an ad smearingMark's record and patriotism. And a super PAC with ties to Leader McConnell and Karl Rove has committed to spending over $9 million more on ads before November.
If they'll launch these kinds of disgusting attacks now, there's no telling what they'll say in the months to come.Markneeds our help to prepare for what's next so he can set the record straight and flip the Senate blue.
Republicans have held this Senate seat for five decades. If the numbers don't look good for Republicans in Arizona, they know it can have an impact on their fundraising and standing in other races across the country.
