Message tone: negative

About the message: This ad criticizes 3rd Congressional District Rep. Scott Tipton, a Republican, for "sabotaging the affordable care act instead of fixing it, which could hike premiums nearly $2,000 next year." On his congressional website, Tipton says Obamacare made it more difficult for people to access health care.

About the messenger:

Colorado United for Families is a nonprofit, though they have no records with the Colorado Secretary of State under business or campaign listings. The group also doesn't show up on the Federal Election Commission site. A recent Politico article says the group is part of a network funded by the Sixteen Thirty Fund, another nonprofit funding ads by similar groups in other states.
