About the message:

This mailer from super PAC Senate Majority Fund emphasizes Republican state Sen. Beth Martinez Humenik's focus on mental health issues. She's being challenged by Democratic Rep. Faith Winter.

It points to:

• A bill Martinez Humenik sponsored that offers grants to schools for suicide prevention training.
• A 2016 bill she sponsored to allow people to get Medicaid prescriptions via mail. (Not that that measure extends far beyond mental health care.)
• Her support of a bill to improve school security.
