GOP women's group launches new ad in New York special election

A GOP women's group is launching a digital ad focused on immigration to boost Republican Mazi Pilip ahead of next week's special election in New York's 3rd Congressional District.
Winning for Women Action Fund, a group that supports female Republican candidates, is launching a "six-figure" digital ad buy, according to an announcement shared first with NBC News. The group has poured nearly half a million dollars into the race.
Pilip, a Nassau County legislator, is competing against Democratic former Rep. Tom Suozzi in Tuesday's election to replace GOP former Rep. George Santos, who was expelled following a damning Ethics Committee investigation.
“In Congress, Mazi will secure the border, work with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] to curb illegal immigration, and stop Tom Suozzi’s open borders agenda," a narrator says in the 15-second spot. The ad also nods to Pilip's biography as an Ethiopian immigrant who fought in the Israel Defense Forces, labeling her as a "soldier, mother [and] conservative fighter."
Immigration has dominated the airwaves in the 3rd District, based on Long Island, as neighboring New York City grapples with an influx of migrants. Suozzi has countered attacks on the issue by launching his own immigration-focused ads, pledging to work with both parties to secure the border.
