RGA Launches First TV Ad In Maryland Governor’s Race: “Big Spender”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican Governors Association launched its first television advertisement in the Maryland governor’s race today, highlighting Democrat Ben Jealous’s proposal to hike taxes and his refusal to detail how much his radical spending plans will cost.

“Ben Jealous can’t explain how much his big spending schemes would cost because he doesn’t even know,” said RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson. “Jealous would raise taxes, force Maryland families to pay more, and hurt the state – just to pay for his big spending schemes. Ben Jealous is just another big spender who wants to hike taxes and take Maryland backwards.”
