Kari Lake Not Buying TV Campaign Ads

Republican nominee for governor Kari Lake spent two decades on the television airwaves as an anchor at Fox O&O KSAZ.

But, her TV time has been non-existent since winning the Republican nomination last month.

In the six weeks following the Aug. 2 primary, Lake has spent no money on TV ads, her campaign confirmed on Tuesday.

Lake attacks the news media at every turn and you might think that she has decided not to spend money on the same outlets she attacks on nearly a daily basis.

But, it appears that is not the case and it seems to be a lack of money in her campaign war chest.

Lake’s campaign say they plan to be on the air in a week or two. Lake’s campaign also said they had to spend more in the primary because they faced a well-financed challenger.

Lake’s opponent, Katie Hobbs, said they and the Democratic party have shelled out $6.5 million on TV, cable, and digital ads combined since the August primary.
