OR election campaign in the United States It’s not just about the content, but also the image.
And it’s not just the election campaign between him donald trump and she Kamala HarryIt’s for the White House.
It’s also the battle for Congress, where lesser-known local politicians fight for favor with voters.
The same happened in the seventh district of the state of Virginia, where Republican Derrick Anderson is fighting to be elected to the House of Representatives.
Anderson is a former military man, it seems his image as a family man would be especially important to him, even though he is not married. So he “borrowed” a family for his election campaign needs. In videos on his YouTube channel and in photos on the Republican National Committee website, Anderson poses with a woman and three girls. Anyone who sees the photos might think they belong to Anderson’s family.
But that’s not true, as the New York Times reports. According to the report, Anderson “borrowed” the family of a longtime friend to pose as a family man during the campaign.
A spokesman for the Republican politician criticized the New York Times “revelation”. It was even justified that “Anderson’s opponent and every other candidate in America also appear in photos and videos with supporters of all types.”
To date, Anderson has not used the images in official campaign advertisements, only posting them on his YouTube channel and the NRCC website. In an interview with The New York Times, his representative declined to comment on whether Anderson will use them for official publicity.
