Beaverton school asks to pull Ted Cruz ad


By Oregon Campaign Watch,

The Beaverton School District is asking the Ted Cruz campaign to suspend using a photo of their athletic event in his latest political advertisement video.

KOIN-TV Reports, “Cruz’s campaign ads, part of a multimillion-dollar media blitz hitting his opponent, Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), over his support for trans-inclusive policies, feature photographs of high-profile transgender athletes including former University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas and CeCé Telfer, a Jamaican-born sprinter and the first out trans woman to win an NCAA title. They also include a photo of two teenage girls who compete in track and field events at neighboring high schools in Western Oregon. Neither of the girls pictured are transgender, though the Cruz ads imply otherwise”.
