Text of ad (supplied by Rogers campaign):
"Terrorist threats are growing. Are we secure? Are we protected?

"Keeping us safe and secure is Congress' job. Kyrsten Sinema hasn't done her job.

"Sinema voted in Congress to give terrorists full legal rights under the Constitution.

"Sinema voted in Congress to allow Guantanamo terrorists to return to their countries.

"It's true. It's wrong.
