Message type: mailer

Message tone: negative

About the message:

This mailer from the Colorado Republican Committee attacks Democratic attorney Jason Crow for clients he's represented, while praising incumbent GOP Rep. Mike Coffman's military service. 

CBS4's Reality Check calls part of a similar TV ad misleading, noting that Crow represented a variety of clients. Crow is an Army veteran who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's also worth checking this Truth Test from 9News to get context on the smears against Crow. Coffman has made similar charges in TV ads, which the Denver Post clarified.

The messenger's money:

This federal political party committee may take up to $10,000 in individual donations. But a significant portion of the group's money in the 2020 cycle comes from the Republican National Committee.
