Ruben Gallego, portraying him as closely aligned with\u2063 controversial\u200b figures like \u200bSenate Majority Leader Chuck \u2063Schumer and financier George Soros. The ad, created by the conservative group Frontiers of Freedom Action, characterizes Gallego as \u200ca radical akin to far-left Congress \u2062members, claiming he supports policies leading to &#8220;hyper-inflation&#8221; and a &#8220;border catastrophe.&#8221; It criticizes the Democrat party for \u200cbeing dominated by its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-cancels-chicago-trip-to-focus-on-threatened-infrastructure-bill\/\" title=\"Biden Cancels Chicago Trip To Focus On Threatened Infrastructure Bill\">left-wing faction<\/a>, suggesting \u2063that members must conform\u200d to extreme agendas\u2064 or risk facing challenges from \u2063wealthy progressive funders. The ad emphasizes\u200b the notion that Gallego is merely a puppet for Schumer and Soros, aiming to influence voter perspectives by contrasting these affiliations with the mainstream view of the Democrat party. The group&#8217;s president argues that presenting Gallego&#8217;s voting \u200brecord alongside \u200cthe images\u200d of Schumer and Soros could sway \u2064public opinion against him.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dyL8_QLu3Lo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Time with Bill Maher \/ YouTube <\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/10\/new-arizona-ad-depicts-ruben-gallego-as-puppet-candidate-of-chuck-schumer-george-soros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=New%20Arizona%20Ad%20Depicts%20Ruben%20Gallego%20As%20%E2%80%98Puppet%E2%80%99%20Candidate%20Of%20Chuck%20Schumer,%20George%20Soros&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/10\/new-arizona-ad-depicts-ruben-gallego-as-puppet-candidate-of-chuck-schumer-george-soros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=New%20Arizona%20Ad%20Depicts%20Ruben%20Gallego%20As%20%E2%80%98Puppet%E2%80%99%20Candidate%20Of%20Chuck%20Schumer,%20George%20Soros&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/10\/new-arizona-ad-depicts-ruben-gallego-as-puppet-candidate-of-chuck-schumer-george-soros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/10\/new-arizona-ad-depicts-ruben-gallego-as-puppet-candidate-of-chuck-schumer-george-soros\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=New%20Arizona%20Ad%20Depicts%20Ruben%20Gallego%20As%20%E2%80%98Puppet%E2%80%99%20Candidate%20Of%20Chuck%20Schumer,%20George%20Soros&amp;body=A%20new%20ad%20in%20Arizona%20takes%20aim%20at%20Rep.%20Gallego's%20alliances%20with%20Dem%20Senate%20Majority%20Leader%20Chuck%20Schumer%20and%20left-wing%20financier%20George%20Soros.%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/10\/new-arizona-ad-depicts-ruben-gallego-as-puppet-candidate-of-chuck-schumer-george-soros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>A new ad in the Arizona Senate race is taking aim at Democrat Rep.
