Children in GOP Lawmaker’s Ad Are Not Hers

October 22, 2024 · 4:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Texas state Rep. Caroline Harris Davila (R) put out a campaign ad ending with Davila and her husband posing with four children in an “idyllic family shot,” the Texas Tribune reports.

However, the kids are not hers.

“In the ad, Harris Davila says she’s protecting ‘our future,’ and she’s seen patting the smallest of four kids on the back while smiling and talking with the other three. In the final shot, she picks up that boy while Darrell Davila puts his arm around the second-smallest boy, smiling for the camera.”
