AFPM hits airwaves with new ads calling for Congress to overturn Biden EPA gas car ban
May 13 2024 - 9:19AM
Today, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM)
is launching a series of new ads across nine states urging key
United States Senators and Congressional Representatives to vote to
overturn the Biden administration’s newly finalized regulation
that will ban most new gas cars by 2032.
The new ad, U-Turn, is featured below. AFPM
President and CEO Chet Thompson issued the following statement on
today’s ad launch and the upcoming Congressional Review Act votes
that will take place in both the House of Representatives and
Senate:
“In setting tailpipe standards that no gas, diesel
or traditional hybrid vehicles can meet on their own, the Biden
administration knows full well that their new EPA regulation
amounts to a ban on most new gas cars in less than a decade. The
policy is unlawful and unamerican. It’s bad for families, the U.S.
economy and our national security. Voting to overturn this
regulation should be an easy decision for every member of Congress,
putting them squarely on the side of their constituents.” - Chet
Thompson, AFPM President and CEO

State-specific versions of U-Turn are running
in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Ohio,
Montana, Georgia and, now, Texas.
U-Turn is part of AFPM’s eight-figure issue campaign raising
awareness about the Biden administration's whole-of-government
effort to phase out gas cars and push the country to 100-percent
electric vehicle sales. Americans are largely unaware of these
policies and the impact they will have on consumer choice, vehicle
costs and national security. AFPM is using a combination of
broadcast, cable television, digital ads, text messages and phone
calls to bridge the awareness gap and provide Americans with
opportunities to contact elected officials about these
policies.
