“As a mom of four, I care about about keeping our community safe. That’s why I oppose Sharice Davids.”
That is the start of the testimonial from Alana Roethle, a Kansas mother of four, in a conservative super PAC ad that debuted Friday, detailing all the reasons why Democratic congressional candidate Sharice Davids is “too risky.”
What neither Roethle nor the ad-makers divulge in the 30-second video, however, is that she is a high-ranking official in the state’s Republican Party. Instead, she is simply billed as: “Alana Roethle, Leawood, KS.”
Active in the Kansas GOP since 2010, Roethle is currently serving as the state party’s secretary and as a member of the Kansas Lottery Commission, according to the Kansas GOP website.
In 2016, Roethle, an adjunct marketing professor at Baker University, was an alternate delegate at the Republican National Convention. She even attended Trump’s presidential inauguration.
But instead of disclosing her role in partisan politics, Roethle stares into the camera and condemns Davids’ position on border security as footage of Roethle’s smiling children blur into images of shadowy hooded figures and protests.

That's all they know how to do - cheat and lie!
