2020 AdWatch: on Energy & Oil


Tom Steyer: AdWatch: I left my business to combat climate change

[The Steyer campaign's first] pair of ads are backed up by $1.4 million dollars in spending. They will run nationally on CNN and MSNBC and locally in the four early states--Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada--for two weeks, from July 10 to July 23.

"I left my business to combat climate change, fix our democracy, and hold President Trump accountable," Steyer said in one of his new ads. "Last year, we ran the largest youth voter registration in history, helping double turnout and win back the House."

The $1.4 million buy represents a small chunk of what Steyer has committed to spending on his presidential bid. A Steyer spokesperson said that the billionaire former hedge fund manager will spend "at least $100 million" on the race.

Woody Myers: AdWatch: End tax cuts for Big Oil; invest in clean energy

Congressman Andre Carson is asking the president to stop buying oil to fill the strategic petroleum reserve which he says is already filled to 96 percent capacity.

Another candidate in the 7th district is already making the point on gas prices. Dr. Woody Myers has a commercial running stating his position: "In Congress I'll get rid of the George Bush tax cuts for the big oil and gas companies and use the money to invest in clear energy and fuel efficient cars."
