Friday, Gov. Kay Ivey’s reelection campaign released its latest television advertisement of the 2022 GOP primary election cycle wading into the battle over culture.
The 30-second spot outlines the governor’s efforts to combat the cultural left’s intentions surrounding the issue of transgenderism.
“Some things are just facts: Summer is hot, the ocean is big, and gender is a question of biology, not identity,” Ivey says in the ad.
A voice-over adds, “That’s why Ivey banned transgender youth sports, banned left-wing sexual propaganda from our schools, and made it a felony for transgender surgery on children in Alabama.”
Ivey concludes, “Here in Alabama, we’re going to go by how God made us, because we identify with something liberals never will – reality.”
Watch:
Ivey earlier this month signed into law the “Alabama Vulnerable Child Protection Act,” which shields minors from gender-altering procedures and drugs.
Additionally, she signed House Bill 322, which requires students to use the restroom that agrees with their birth gender. The legislation also forbids the instruction of of sexual orientation and gender identity to K-5 public school students.
In a statement accompanying the ad release, Ivey campaign manager William Califf declared that a vote for the incumbent governor would be in support of “Alabama common sense.”
“The reason why Governor Ivey leads this race by such an overwhelming margin is because she believes in Alabama common sense – which is under attack each and every day by the leftwing in American politics,” declared Califf. “Governor Ivey is making sure that none of that craziness has any place in Alabama, and as long as she is Governor, it never will. A vote for Governor Ivey on May 24 is a vote for conservative Alabama common sense.”
