The Jennifer McCormick campaign is accusing the Mike Braun campaign of political wrongdoing regarding a commercial the the Braun campaign for Governor has released.

An early version of a Braun campaign ad lacked a disclaimer. A later version added the disclaimer but McCormick for Governor senior adviser Adam Kirsch said the version without the disclaimer continued to air in some markets.

“He’s digitally manipulating images to put signs into voters’ hands that they did not hold and to represent a position Jennifer McCormick does not hold,” Kirsch said. “The fact is, he should be honest with voters because that’s what Jennifer McCormick is doing.”

Kirsch says “all options are on the table,” without confirming any specific plans.

State lawmakers passed a law, requiring campaign ads using altered media including a disclaimer, but Braun’s campaign first aired an ad without

that disclaimer. A corrected version was aired later.

Kirsch says Braun should be honest with voters because that’s what Jennifer McCormick is doing.

The Braun Campaign says, “The ‘hopelessly liberal’ ads are in compliance with HEA 1133. An earlier version was mistakenly delivered to TV stations and is being replaced with the correct version. Mike Braun is the first candidate to comply with this new law, which requires a disclaimer for any alteration from an original image, even though his opponent has altered his appearance in her paid advertisements without a disclaimer.”
