Republican candidate Derrick Anderson uses a friend's family in campaign ad, sparking ethics debate.

Derrick Anderson, a Republican candidate for Virginia's 7th congressional district, faces scrutiny for staging a family scene with a friend's wife and daughters for his campaign ad, despite having no children himself. The footage, not yet used in ads, is part of a strategy among Republican candidates to appeal to female voters concerned about reproductive rights. Critics question the ethics of using non-related family members in political campaigns.
