Members of Congress are settling into their offices, so you thought you’d be getting a break from those campaign ads? Think again. Even with more than 600 days until the mid-term elections, Republican groups are already targeting Democrats for 2018.

Ron Kind was uncontested in his 2016 re-election campaign and 99.9% of the vote was his. But just as a new session of Congress begins, the La Crosse Democrat finds himself facing down a new opponent.

TV ad: “Ron Kind voted for Obamacare, and Wisconsin families are paying the price.”

Rep. Kind is the target of a $1.3 million ad campaign targeting eight Congressional Democrats, all in districts carried by Donald Trump last November.

“I think we’re in a perpetual election cycle,” Kind sighed. “There’s no reprieve, no ‘catch your breath’ any more.”
