Blanksma's original YouTube watch page independently shows May 10, 2026 upload, 30-second duration, Unlisted, no description. Its displayed transcript praises her support for sheriffs and contrasts her with unnamed politicians. Unlisted is a publication setting, not evidence of evasion; the link is publicly exposed in Google's ad archive. No producer credit was found there. Other video titles/links above were read from the Google embedded players; their full contents and original watch-page dates were not all reviewed.
's Google record explicitly includes ZIPs 83687, 83642, 83646 and 83713, with no age or gender selection criteria. Other positive records expose distinct location selections. This supports a candidate-specific digital ad family under one verified advertiser; it does not prove agency ownership, candidate coordination, or a payment match to Redbird/Hulsen.
