“The choice for voters could not be any clearer: Jim Mowrer is a combat veteran who has dedicated his life to service and David Young is a politician who lacks the courage and independence to stand up to Donald Trump. When it comes to protecting our national security, Young has decided that party comes before country,” said DCCC Spokesman Tyler Law.

House Democrats are unveiling a new set of television ads targeting four Republican House members in tough reelection races, tying Donald J. Trump’s controversial statements to the incumbents’ own political futures.

It’s part of the continuing plan by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to try putting enough GOP-held House seats into play for the majority to potentially flip their way in November. The House Democrats’ campaign arm plans to focus its resources on districts that are anchored in the suburbs and with large Latino populations.

The ads are airing against Reps. David Young (R-Iowa), whose Des Moines-based district has the highest level of college-educated voters of the state’s four seats; Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.), whose district east of the Twin Cities is one of the nation’s most highly educated; Will Hurd (R-Texas), whose sprawling district along the Texas-Mexico border is two-thirds Hispanic; and Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), whose south Florida district is almost 70 percent Hispanic.

The ad against Young, part of the DCCC’s $1.5 million in reserved ads there, highlights Trump’s assertion that “nukes” might be needed for national security policy.
