In a sign that the GOP may be concerned about one of its incumbents, the National Republican Congressional Committee released a television ad in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District on Friday that ties the Democratic candidate to a convicted felon.
The ad hits state Sen. Brad Ashford (D), who is posing a strong challenge to Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.), for supporting the state's "good time" law, which is more than two decades old. The law gives prisoners a day off their sentence for every day they spend behind bars without violating prison rules. Nikko Jenkins, the subject of the ad, served just half of his 21-year prison sentence even though he reportedly displayed episodes of violent behavior while incarcerated. He is accused of killing four people in a 10-day span after his early release in 2013.
