NRCC’s Matt Gorman: Gas Tax Repeal Will Be Major Motivator For CA Voters This Fall

WASHINGTON – NRCC Communications Director Matt Gorman joined Fox News’ Shannon Bream to explain why California’s gas tax will help increase Republican enthusiasm in the fall.

NRCC COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR MATT GORMAN: We’re also monitoring the gas tax repeal, which will be on the ballot. That’s going to be a huge motivator down in Orange County. I was just out there, gas is approaching $5/gallon. I don’t see Democrats marching in the streets to defend that. And so actually, there’s also a recall election in a state senate district that overlaps with California’s 39th District, the district of retiring Congressman Ed Royce. And voters in that district are trying to recall a Democrat who’s been an ardent supporter of the gas tax, and we’re going to get very close in that district. We might win and recall that state senator. So I think that’s going to be a harbinger for Republican enthusiasm as well in the fall.
