Shannon Launches New Negative On Lankford’s Debt Votes

Earlier this week, Shannon released this statement on negative ads running from 3rd party groups: Shannon: ‘Lankford And I Are Competitors, Not Enemies.’

Today, the Shannon campaign released an ad which focuses on the issue of the debt limit.

Although, it should be noted, this new ad claims Congressman Lankford voted THREE times to raise the debt limit; in a previous ad run by Oklahomans For A Conservative Future, their ad claims Lankford only voted TWICE to raise the debt limit.

The new Shannon ad is below:

Shannon Campaign Launches New TV Spot

Lawton, Oklahoma (June 6, 2014) – T.W. Shannon commented today on the launch of his latest campaign ad:

“As I travel the state meeting voters, one of the main questions I am asked is, ‘what’s the difference between you and your opponent?’ To answer that, I’m releasing a new ad today that highlights a major difference between my opponent and me. As Speaker of the House here in Oklahoma, I vowed that our state would not go down the path of Washington, D.C. Instead, we reduced our debt and kept spending in line. There are real differences between Congressman Lankford and myself when it comes to our record on debt and spending.”

“My campaign is focused on issues, not negative attacks. The national debt is one of the most important issues facing our country, and we need to engage in a positive, truthful discussion of that issue by examining the record.”
