Eight issue ads include separate Foreman immigration/voucher videos and same-ZIP Keyser opposition/Marsh support
Recorded status: Distinct creative IDs, linked videos and platform-reported delivery verified; campaign claims, production payee and broadcast equivalence unverified
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Eight Google political-ad records resolve to distinct issue-based videos on the same Defend and Protect Idaho YouTube channel. Visible ad copy tells viewers to reject the named candidates. The following is a primary platform index, not endorsement or verification of the advertisements' claims; all flight dates are 2026.

Foreman's immigration watch page independently shows a May 10, 2026 upload, 30-second duration, Unlisted, no description. Its displayed transcript argues that his immigration approach disregards law enforcement and urges his rejection; the underlying legislative claims have not been fact-checked in this pass. The immigration and voucher records have different creative IDs, video URLs and reported spending ranges. They therefore cannot be collapsed into one ad simply because both target Foreman. Neither record displays CPMDAPI26005H or a production-company credit.
Keyser's two records explicitly select the same four ZIP codes (83713, 83687, 83642, 83646) as the Marsh support ad, in a different listed order; no age/gender criteria were selected in these three inspected records. This demonstrates complementary pro-/anti-candidate messaging to an overlapping geography under the same advertiser, not unlawful candidate coordination. Kohl/Leavitt explicitly selects 83328 and 83301. Other location lists were only partly exposed; do not equate the full sets without opening See all.
No station-to-Google creative crosswalk, Redbird production invoice, subcontract, bank-payment trace or Cothren identity bridge was found. May 10 online upload does not exclude earlier station delivery of the same underlying media; it is not a production-completion date.
