Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) on Oct. 6, 2016, in Lansdowne, Va. She’s set to benefit from a new TV ad campaign bankrolled by a national conservative organization. A conservative group allied with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan believes that Spanish-language networks like Univision and Telemundo won’t help Republicans promote their plans to overhaul the nation’s health-care system — so they’re buying TV ad time to do so. The American Action Network, founded by veteran GOP fundraisers to support Ryan (R-Wis.), will begin airing the new ad Tuesday. The Spanish-language campaign is in addition to a $1.4 million ad campaign launched by the group last week. Last year it spent tens of millions of dollars bankrolling advertising ads for dozens of Republican congressional candidates, including some who are now set to benefit from the new ad campaign.
