The 314 Action Fund is spending close to $1 million on ads opposing Jay Feely, a Trump-endorsed Republican and former NFL kicker running in Arizona's competitive Congressional District 1. The ad, titled 'Rubber Stamp,' ties Feely to tariffs, the Iran war, and Trump's policies broadly, while Feely has embraced rather than distanced himself from the president.

PAC director Erik Polyak's statement leans on the same language as the ad itself, accusing Feely of letting 'Trump handpick his district for him' while Arizonans face rising costs. The spending breaks down to $781,920 for TV and digital buys and $185,884 more for streaming platforms, in a district Democrats consider a high priority despite its Republican lean.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Calling a Trump-endorsed candidate a rubber stamp for Trump isn't exactly a stretch of investigative journalism, it's closer to reading the label on the can. Whether a million dollars changes many minds in a district that already leans one direction is a different question than whether the ad is accurate. Politics being what it is, both sides know the label matters more than the argument underneath it.
