In a video his campaign leaders tried to block, Sen. Roger Marshall said his involvement in a patient's bill ended once it went to a collection agency. The New York Times found about half the lawsuits were filed in his name and his lawyers repeatedly requested arrest warrants.
In a debate, Rep. Gabe Evans said 12,000 more Coloradans are on Medicaid than a year ago. That's true, and misleading: the state forecasts enrollment falling by about 48,000 next fiscal year, after the cuts in Trump's budget bill start in January.

On Face the Nation, Rep. Mike Lawler waved off an estimate that Trump's budget bill will leave about 860,000 more New Yorkers uninsured by 2034. KFF's brief, built on Congressional Budget Office estimates, put New York's losses at the same 860,000, within a range of 640,000 to 1.1 million. To change the subject, he then claimed a New York home-care program grew from $10 million to $11 billion in three years. It was already $1.3 billion in 2017.
Asked on a Colorado MAGA radio show whether the Epstein files should be released, Rep. Gabe Evans said they already had been. Roughly half have. Evans never signed either petition to force the files out, and he isn't on the one that reached 218 this fall.
In her October debate with Alissa Ellman, Claudia Tenney said inflation was at a 50-year low and under 3%, that Republicans had brought costs down, and that Biden shut down our refineries. The government's own numbers say otherwise on all three.
At an October 24 forum in Peekskill, Mike Lawler said he 'delivered the largest tax cut in American history' and 'no tax on Social Security.' PolitiFact rated both of those claims Mostly False when other Republicans made them. He also touted $50 billion for rural health care from the same law that KFF estimates could cut $137 billion from federal Medicaid spending in rural areas.
In the last debate before Election Day, Governor Kelly Ayotte said Cinde Warmington 'will not commit to banning an income or sales tax.' PolitiFact found that conflicts with Warmington's repeated statements — including one she made in that same debate. Ayotte also inflated two years of Purdue Pharma work into a 'career.'
Four days before Election Day, Alabama voters got texts inviting them to a 'Vote with Pride' rally with Doug Jones. There was no such rally. The opt-out reply named 'SECPAC' — the super PAC set up by a nonprofit founded by Tommy Tuberville's fundraiser, his campaign manager's wife and a major donor.
