(The Center Square) – A conservative advocacy group is launching new ads in two states defending Republican attorneys general involved in a lawsuit targeting major Wall Street firms.
Consumers’ Defense said the ads started airing on Wednesday in Alabama and Iowa. The campaign backs Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird as they face criticism tied to the case.
