Summary

ProgressPACs radio attack ad against Mo Brooks, accusing him of insider stock trading, was retracted after Brooks denied the claims. The ad was part of the heated House District twenty race in Alabama, where Brooks is challenging incumbent Phillip Lomax. The retraction shows a setback for Lomax, who has most big endorsements from state heavyweights. The incident highlights the use of special interest-funded dirty tricks in political campaigns.
