TX-22: Democrats make anti-Nehls ads in Chinese, Hindi

t’s not news that national Democrats are already producing negative ads about Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls. But the fact that the ads are in different languages is a change.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has made three ads attacking Nehls as the race for the U.S. House District 22 seat ramps up. All three ads are the same, attacking Nehls for his time at the Richmond Police Department, his comments on human trafficking and his dealings with the coronavirus.

But the other two ads are in Chinese and in Hindi, as Democrats try to target different ethnic groups in the district.

The ads plan to give a boost to Sri Preston Kulkarni, who mobilized Asian Americans in his 2018 to come only five percentage points short of beating Rep. Pete Olson. Olson is retiring after his term in office.

Nehls is coming off a dominating win over Kathaleen Wall in the Republican primary runoff last week, winning the election with 70% of the vote.
