Democrats' first ad on abortion in a Virginia competitive district targets Rep. Jennifer Wexton's opponent, Hung Cao.
Cao, the former Navy captain and Vietnamese refugee running against Rep. Jennifer Wexton , and the Republicans in Virginia’s two other competitive districts — state Sen.
Cao did say in an interview before the Supreme Court’s decision — and all three have said in public statements afterward — that overturninghave not always been clear about their positions on specific policies and did not respond to questions for this article about how they would vote on certain abortion proposals, restrictions or bans if elected, including whether they support exceptions to abortion bans for rape, incest or protecting the life of the mother.
Instead, Cao said in a statement that “I believe in life and believe it should be protected” and otherwise focused on Wexton, claiming she “supports unlimited access to late term abortion at taxpayer expense,” which Wexton called a lie.The DCCC ad targeting Cao — though under $100,000 in the 10th — was part of a seven-figure campaign in battleground districts nationwide targeting Asian American and Pacific Islander voters, and featuring an Asian couple, DCCC said.
