But the people are not relatives. They are the wife and children of a longtime friend. Mr.
Anderson, who announced this month that he was engaged, does not have any children of his own. His campaign website says he lives with his dog and does not display any of the photos.
A spokesman for Mr. Anderson criticized The New York Times's decision to focus on the footage and said that "Derrick's opponent and every other candidate in America are in similar pictures and video with supporters of all kinds." The spokesman said the video simply showed Mr. Anderson "with female supporters and their kids."
