RGA joins gubernatorial race with ads hitting Hofmeister

The Republican Governor's Association is out with a new ad hitting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Joy Hofmeister. The RGA Right Direction PAC is putting at least a million dollars into supporting GOP incumbent Kevin Stitt in this race:

New Ad: Hofmeister & Biden Raised Gas Prices & Cost Oklahoma Jobs

October 18, 2022  |  WASHINGTON, D.C. – The RGA Right Direction PAC today released a new ad explaining how Joy Hofmeister and Joe Biden both raised gas prices and put 90,000 Oklahoma jobs at risk. Life hasn’t been easy under Biden’s leadership and Oklahoma needs a leader who will fight back against his radical agenda, not support it.

This ad is backed by a seven-figure Oklahoma City and Tulsa broadcast ad buy.

“Families struggle, but Joy Hofmeister and Joe Biden made it harder to put food on the table by raising gas prices and putting thousands of jobs at risk,” said RGA spokesman Will Reinert. “Despite Hofmeister and Biden’s best efforts, Kevin Stitt made Oklahoma one of the best places to live, work and raise a family, and he deserves to be reelected.”

“Under Attack” script:

American energy is under attack.

President Biden and Joy Hofmeister are leading the charge.

They’ve pushed tax hikes at the pump, making it harder to fill your tank.

More taxes on the production of oil and gas, putting ninety thousand Oklahoma jobs at risk.

Higher gas prices. Fewer jobs.

Joy Hofmeister… she’s definitely not fighting for us.
