Description

In the admin, there should be a page that shows a user all the ads that are EITHER targeted to that state (as shown in the targets column, with either Region: Georgia or State: Georgia, for instance) OR the ads whose candidates (join defined here ) are in that state.

So the Georgia page would show ads targeted to Georgia residents AND ads from, say, Casey Cagle and Stacey Abrams.

Research direction
Start by examining the Ad model at app/models/ad.rb to understand the candidates association. Look at existing admin pages for layout patterns. The issue requires creating a state page that combines ads targeted to that state and ads from candidates in that state. Check the comments for any additional context or scope clarification.
