Rhoden campaign tells broadcasters to pull attack ads targeting his legislative record

Incumbent governor's campaign promises ‘further action’ if ads not removed

Gov. Larry Rhoden’s campaign demanded that broadcasters pull ads that attack him Friday, saying the ads are dishonest and violate federal broadcast rules.

In a May 8 press release, the Rhoden for Governor Campaign demanded that broadcasters pull ads sponsored by the Rushmore Principles PAC, a group supporting gubernatorial candidate Dusty Johnson, for “categorically false claims.”
