Larry Hogan are launching a new ad campaign highlighting his suspension of the state\u2019s gas tax as high gas prices squeeze Americans across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The ad by An America United, a nonprofit organization which supports the governor, emphasized that Hogan was the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/11\/gas-tax-suspension-states-maryland-larry-hogan-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first governor<\/a> in America to suspend his state\u2019s gas tax. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/03\/22\/georgia-and-maryland-temporarily-suspend-gas-tax-to-ease-drivers-burden-at-pump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Georgia halted<\/a> their tax the same day last week, and lawmakers in West Virginia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New York, Tennessee and Virginia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/markets\/gas-tax-holiday-in-some-states-may-be-slow-to-reach-americans\/ar-AAVpPqM?ocid=uxbndlbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are considering doing the same<\/a>.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>The average price of gas in Maryland has fallen by around 47 cents since the tax was paused, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/careersandeducation\/neighbor-states-suspend-gas-tax-lawmakers-push-wv-to-follow\/ar-AAVnDMH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to AAA<\/a>. The tax accounted for 36 cents in cost.

He was one of 25 GOP governors to sign a letter to the White House making such a request.<\/p>\n<p>Some state leaders across the country <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Business\/wireStory\/calls-suspend-gas-taxes-us-grow-prices-surge-83347554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have called<\/a> on the federal government to suspend its gas tax as well, which amounts to 18 cents per gallon. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/03\/larry-hogan-senate-2022-campaign-poll-ad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Democrats Go On Attack Against Larry Hogan Ahead Of 2022 Senate Race)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High gas prices have quickly become a foremost issue facing the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/22\/cathy-mcmorris-rodgers-house-energy-commerce-committee-jennifer-granholm-gas-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Biden administration<\/a>, alongside already-rising inflation and the crisis in Ukraine. Sanctions on Russia have contributed to the rise in gas prices, experts say, and inflation has made nearly all goods more expensive in recent months.
