About the message: In its second TV ad featuring two middle-aged hikers, Colorado United for Families again criticizes U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, a Republican, for voting in ways that could increase health insurance, especially for people over age 50. The ad is scheduled to air in Grand Junction and Pueblo throughout July.

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.
