Ads flare in Kansas Senate race with Roberts and Wolf attacks
Last week saw a wave of campaign ads from the Roberts and Wolf teams. The Roberts spot criticizes Wolf for not voting in local elections and primaries 28 times since 1997 while Wolf and the Senate Conservatives Fund PAC portray Roberts as out of touch after long service in Washington. The fund says it filed disclosures, and Ken Cuccinelli argues Wolf remains the underdog. The campaigns trade criticisms over residence, voting, and past actions, including Wolf posting graphic gunshot images in the past.
