Focus: Danny Tarkanian, the Republican candidate in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District
Who's paying for it: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
Size of buy: The DCCC did not immediately provide the size of the buy

The gist: The 30-second ad calls Tarkanian "another con man who can't hide the truth," highlighting accusations that surfaced earlier this year that Tarkanian took $700,000 from the Tarkanian Basketball Academy, a children's charity he founded in the early 2000s. For more on the claim, read The Nevada Independent's fact check from February.
