Concerned Veterans for America launched an ad in July 2014 criticizing Congressman Bruce Braley’s attendance at Veteran’s Affairs Committee meetings.

Braley, a Democrat, is running against Republican candidate Joni Ernst to represent Iowa in the U.S. Senate.

The ad, titled “AWOL,” says Braley skipped 79% of those committee hearings, and that one was missed so he could attend several fundraisers.

WQAD News 8 reporter Brittany Lewis and the Quad-City Times reporter Ed Tibbetts have partnered to check the facts behind political ads.

Watch our fact check of the “AWOL” ad that aired Sunday, September 7.
