With eyes across the nation on Arizona's U.S. Senate race, attack ads are popping up on TV.

ABC15 is checking the facts in political commercials as candidates are in the last two weeks of campaigning for the August 28 primary election.  

Wednesday, ABC15 looked at ads criticizing Martha McSally on a big health care vote and claiming Kelli Ward is attacking President Trump's illegal immigration plan.  

Rep. Martha McSally, a former fighter pilot, is running against Dr. Kelli Ward, a former state senator, and former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in the Republican race. Attorney and activist Deedra Abboud is running against Rep. Kyrsten Sinema for the Democratic nomination. The winner in November will replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake.
