Ware said no one including Ostergard or his opponent, incumbent Alice Saudargas, deserves that kind of treatment.

“Whoever did it is no friend of mine,” Ware said.

Ostergard said she got a laugh out of the video Tuesday, noting that it can’t have been from a recent meeting because she was not pregnant in the footage. Ostergard gave birth in January.

“Someone has gotten pretty sophisticated with their campaign bashing,” Ostergard said. “I think it’s really clever and commend them for using different media outlets, but I am not going to waste my time worrying about it. It’s nothing that really concerns me.”"
