The conservative Americans for Prosperity today unveiled its latest attack on Democratic Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick and Ron Barber over their support for the Affordable Care Act.

When the federal government shut down due to a congressional impasse over repealing or delaying the Affordable Care Act, Arizona’s three targeted Democrats in Congress took vastly different approaches to their votes on the health care law.
