RI GOP Calls out Raimondo/Reed Commercial By Releasing Online Ad
The Rhode Island Republican Party released an online ad showing the similarities to the Gina Raimondo "Only One" Ad from her primary race and the recent ad featuring US Senator Jack Reed.
RI GOP Executive Director Robert A. Paquin, III said, "I understand the average Rhode Islander may not be well versed in Campaign Finance Laws, but when someone knowingly breaks them it is a major violation of public trust. The ad produced by the RI Democrats is only legal if it is clearly in support of Jack Reed - I want voters to take a look and ask themselves who they think the ad really supports. If the answer is Gina Raimondo, then multiple laws were broken."
