Americans for Prosperity-Wyoming briefly lowers gas prices to highlight Bidenomics inflation

ROCK SPRINGS (WNE)  — Calling out President Joe Biden’s economic failures, Americans for Prosperity- Wyoming (AFP-WY) for two hours lowered gas prices at a local station as an object lesson about the administration’s policies and continuing inflated prices at the gas pump and beyond.

Vehicles were lined up Monday, July 29, at Kelly’s Sunset Convenience store while the lowered gas price for regular unleaded lasted, from 4-6 p.m.

AFP-WY dropped the price of gas to $2.38 — the price of gas when Joe Biden took office in 2021 — to offer some relief from Biden’s “bad energy policy,” according to the press release sent out prior to the event.

AFP-WY State Director Tyler Lindholm was on hand guiding drivers to the pump.

He said the purpose of Monday’s gas lowering is to offer some relief at the pump as well as demonstrate how Biden’s policies are negatively affecting every-day Americans’ wallets.

“Bidenomics has resulted in American households spending $11,400 more each year to maintain their lifestyle,” Lindhom said. “We see pain at the pump. Bread, eggs, groceries — we’ve seen costs soar. We’re here to talk about those failed policies.”

Lindholm noted this gas campaign has been “very successful,” and he hoped many people were able to get the discount. He also thanked the volunteers who came out to help direct and speak with people.

“I’ve been jazzed about this. It’s been a load of fun,” he said.

Americans for Prosperity is a libertarian conservative political advocacy group.
