NEW 💻 AD: We just launched our largest voter contact ad of the 2020 election cycle to date -- a Spanish-language digital ad exposing Rep. @WillHurd’s failure to stand up for migrant children who were left behind in a Texas detention facility van. #TX23
cbsnews.com/news/democrats…

Our ad reads: “¿Por qué el Congresista Hurd no ha abogado por los niños inmigrantes que han sido abandonados en camionetas?”

Translation: “Why hasn't Congressman Will Hurd spoken up for immigrant children left in vans?”

Earlier this month, a botched effort by the Trump administration left 37 migrant children in a van “under the blistering Texas sun” -- most for at least 23 hours.

Rep. @WillHurd failed to convince his party to take action against these kinds of abuses.

Our ad will target thousands of Spanish-speaking voters on Facebook and Instagram across #TX23. Texans are outraged by @realDonaldTrump’s cruel and inhumane policy of separating children from their families, but Rep. @WillHurd has said nothing.

There’s a moral responsibility for elected officials to speak out when they see injustice across their communities. Texans need to know that Rep. @WillHurd has not fulfilled this responsibility.

#TX23 deserves better than Washington Republican Will Hurd.
