In his first run for political office, former longtime energy journalist Russell Ray is trying make a connection with voters who are complaining more and more about high utility rates. He is also recovering from a heart attack and quadruple heart bypass surgery a week after he became a candidate.
The Duncan Banner reported how Ray, running for the Republican nomination to be decided later this month, wasn’t hesitant in describing the corporation commission as being run by two politicans.
