Six siblings of Arizona Republican representative Paul Gosar appeared in a campaign advertisement endorsing his Democratic opponent, David Brill.
In one of the ads, titled: "Paul Gosar Is Not Working For You," the siblings are presented by only their first name and profession since they take turns to lay out the case against him.
Video of the campaign ad made the rounds online Friday night.
In the video - Tim, David, Grace, Joan, Gaston, and Jennifer Gosar - each gave their own takes on why they believe Paul Gosar is unsuitable to keep the 4th District seat he has held since 2013. They likewise remarked regarding their brother's positions on immigration, health care, and the environment.
"If (voters) care about health care, their children's health care, they would hold him to account," Grace Gosar said.
"If he actually cared about people in rural Arizona, I bet he'd be fighting for Social Security, for better access to health care," Jennifer Gosar said. "I bet he would be researching what is the most insightful water policy to help the environment of Arizona sustain itself and be successful."
Tim Gosar made the final pitch: "He's not listening to you, and he doesn't have your interests at heart."
In an October 2017 interview with the Phoenix New Times, David Gosar had unpleasant words for his politician brother, scolding him at the time for amplifying conspiracy theories about the white-supremacist rally that year in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"There's no dispute about our opposition to him," Gosar said. "It's something that has been building for some time. Watching what he does up there in Congress. It's ridiculous."
In the Arizona 4th District race, David Brill is seen as a long shot candidate. He told the Phoenix New Times he is grateful for the Gosar family's support, calling them "upstanding, wonderful people."
Videographers from Brill's campaign interviewed Gosar's siblings, but Brill said he was not personally involved with the ad, or the siblings' remarks.
