Dark money ads show same phony constituent complaining about 11 different Democrats

The American Action Network found one person who is upset about impeachment and presented her as a voter from eight different states.
A new ad being run by the pro-GOP dark-money American Action Network features a woman named "Stacy," billed as mom, wife, and teacher who is disappointed that her congresswoman, Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (D-NM), voted to impeach Donald Trump. Virtually identical ads being run in at least 10 other congressional districts feature the exact same woman presented as a constituent of other House Democrats.
In each of the spots, "Stacy" implies that she is a disappointed citizen from that lawmaker's House district. "Around here, we focus on what matters," she says, adding, "I just wish that [lawmaker's name] would let us decide the elections and get to work on the issues that matter."
The spots are part of the group's $2.5 million ad campaign aimed at punishing Democratic lawmakers who represent districts that voted for Trump in 2016 and voted to impeach him last month.
