WASHINGTON _ National Democrats will spend more than $5 million over the next five weeks on TV ads in Missouri to boost Democrat Nicole Galloway's campaign against Republican Gov. Mike Parson.
A Stronger Missouri, an independent expenditure group linked to the Democratic Governors Association, will launch the ad campaign Wednesday with a spot attacking Parson for accepting lobbyist gifts.
The ads mark the first major spending by national Democrats in the Missouri race. The spots will air primarily in the St. Louis and Kansas City markets.
