Former Missouri Public Service Commission chairman Steve Gaw released his second TV spot today. The ad shows him outdoors and surrounded by supporters as he speaks about his intentions to “stand up to big oil and drug companies, just like when I stood up to the big utility companies in Missouri, when they tried to raise your rates.”
Gaw has said that an emphasis on domestic drilling (according to individual states’ decisions) while investing in alternative energy sources and cracking down on oil speculators would be his strategy to decrease gas prices.
With the ad, Gaw alludes to his clash with Baker at last week’s Muleskinners forum over the Baker’s vote on the Utilicare bill. Baker has said that while she’s proud of her vote, it is less important than other issues on the minds of Ninth District voters.
Gaw, Baker, Marion County Commissioner Lyndon Bode and former State Sen. Ken Jacob are competing in the Democratic primary for the Ninth District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives
