Repetitive campaign ads — often lacking in accuracy or bloated with hyperbole — are a staple of any high-stakes campaign season. Front and center in the ad wars for this election is Colorado’s battleground 8th Congressional District race. U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo, the Democratic incumbent, is running against Republican challenger Gabe Evans, a state lawmaker, and a poll this month showed the race in a deadlock. Ad spending in the district, which runs from Greeley and Berthoud down to Denver’s northern suburbs, accounts for more than 75% of expenditures of this type across Colorado’s eight congressional contests, according to Axios Denver.
