After years of backing open borders policies and even voting against getting tough on fentanyl trafficking, today socialist Amish Shah released a desperate new ad lying about his policy record.

“Socialist Amish Shah spent years fueling the border crisis, supporting open borders policies and voting against cracking down on fentanyl. Now Socialist Shah is lying with deceptive ads because voters rejected his open borders record in 2024.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen

Background:

Amish Shah touted a “phony record” on fentanyl:

• Shah “voted against tough drug enforcement and penalty measures in the State house.”
• Shah voted against tougher penalties for manufacturing and possessing fentanyl.
• Shah voted against legislation establishing a drug trafficking homicide crime.
• Shah voted against border security funding and local police funding to stop fentanyl in the state legislature.
• Shah called to repeal billions of federal dollars for Border Patrol and border security provided by the Working Families Tax Cuts.

Amish Shah repeatedly backed open borders, anti-border security policies:

• Shah said he opposed the Laken Riley Act apprehending criminal illegal immigrants.
• Shah supported free taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants.
• Shah opposed the Secure the Border Proposition 314 that Arizona voters overwhelmingly passed in 2024.
• Shah called for dismantling Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the law enforcement agency that apprehends criminal illegal immigrants.
• Shah said he voted for Border Czar Kamala Harris in 2024 despite Harris and Biden unleashing the worst border crisis in American history.
