OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — Another TV ad is urging Oklahoma voters to remove three Oklahoma Supreme Court justices appearing on a non-partisan retention ballot next month. This time, News 4 has found a group behind it that is closely linked to Governor Kevin Stitt.
The new ad began airing on TVs in Oklahoma this week.
It claims Oklahoma Supreme Court Justices Noma Gurich, Yvonne Kauger and James Edmonson, who are all up for retention on ballots in the November 5 election, are “liberals.”
“Oklahoma Supreme Court Justices Guich, Kauger and Edmonson, all appointed by democrat governors, undeniably liberal themselves,” a narrator says at the beginning of the ad. “Supported by liberal trial lawyers, they used COVID to change Oklahoma’s election law. And if retained, the oldest will be 93.”
The ad goes on to urge voters to vote to not retain them.
“But you have the power to remove all three,” the narrator says. “On November 5 th , vote Gurich, no. Kauger, no. Edmonson, no. Let’s remove these liberals from our state supreme court.”
