Targeted political advertising...on our forum

So last night I noticed this pop up on my phone while browsing P&N.
I live in Kentucky. This is an ad targeted at my district.

I know online regulation of political ads is much more murky than traditional mediums. But this just feels....shady?

Also, I didn't get it in this screenshot, but the first time I saw this McGrath ad, it was accompanied by a Trump fluffing "HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB!" advertisement.

So yeah. Don't know if it's breaking any laws. But from a forum operation standpoint, not sure if you guys want to report that and try to stay politically agnostic on advertisements.

I moved this from P&N as it appears to be an advertising issue that might or might not be contrary to policy here, and I messaged the powers that be.

Off Topic that ad reminds me of a Republican guy whose ad says:

Nikki Tsongas missed 40% of her votes show her the same respect and don’t vote (pause..........) for her.

****she isn’t running****
