   and they want the voters to know too.

   Rep. Paul Gosar's siblings in new ad: Don't vote for our brother   
      
   Washington (CNN)Six siblings of Republican Rep. Paul Gosar delivered a stark   
   message in a new television advertisement: Vote for their brother's opponent.   
   The Democrat challenging Gosar in Arizona's 4th District unveiled a new ad   
   Friday that features Grace, David, Jennifer, Tim, Joan and Gaston lambasting   
   Gosar over Social Security, health care, water policy and more.   
      
   "Paul's absolutely not working for his district," David says.   
      
   Then comes the big reveal: Gosar is their brother -- but they endorse David   
   Brill, the Democrat running against him.   
      
   Paul Gosar is the oldest of 10 children.   
      
   In response to the ad, Gosar told CNN in a statement Saturday that the   
   siblings featured in the ad are "liberal Democrats who hate President Trump"   
   and slammed Bill for engaging "in this shameful attack."   
      
   "These disgruntled Hillary suppporters (sic) are related by blood to me but   
   like leftists everywhere, they put political ideology before family.  Lenin,   
   Mao and Kim Jung (sic) Un would be proud," Gosar said.  "It is unfortunate   
   that my opponent chose to    
   use family political differences to launch attacks on me rather than focusing   
   on the issues."   
      
   He added, "You can't pick your family. We all have crazy aunts and relatives   
   etc and my family is no different.  I hope they find peace in their hearts and   
   let go all the hate.  To the six angry Democrat Gosars -- see you at Mom and   
   Dad's house!"   
      
   Gosar has a long history of controversial remarks and actions. He promoted the   
   conspiracy theory that the white supremacists' rally in Charlottesville,   
   Virginia, last year was a plot by the left financed by Democratic megadonor   
   George Soros, who Gosar    
   said "turned in his own people to the Nazis."   
      
   In July, Gosar spoke in London at a rally for an anti-Muslim activist. He is   
   also one of the staunchest opponents of legal rights for undocumented   
   "Dreamers" in Congress.   
      
   His district, made up of mostly rural western Arizona, is generally not   
   considered competitive in November: Gosar won by more than 40 percentage   
   points in 2016. President Donald Trump won there by 39 points in 2016, and   
   Mitt Romney carried the district    
   by 36 points in 2012.   
      
   But the sharply personal ad is certain to generate attention for Brill's   
   campaign.   
   The Phoenix New Times reported that the ad and others were unveiled at a   
   fundraiser in Phoenix on Thursday night -- and that in another spot, which is   
   not public yet, Grace Goser says that "it would be difficult to see my brother   
   as anything but a racist.   
   "   
      
   It's just the latest ad to feature a politician's family member this year.   
      
   In Wisconsin, Democrat Randy Bryce's brother is featured in an ad backing   
   Republican Bryan Steil in the 1st District race for retiring House Speaker   
   Paul Ryan's seat.   
      
   And the parents of Republican Kevin Nicholson, who was a Senate candidate in   
   Wisconsin before he lost the primary to state Sen. Leah Vukmir, gave the   
   maximum contributions allowable under federal campaign finance law to the   
   Democratic incumbent whom    
   Nicholson hoped to challenge, Sen. Tammy Baldwin.   
                                                   ________________
