Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign is releasing a new ad featuring Shirley Keene, a landowner from Raven, Va., who is fighting against Ken Cuccinelli and out-of-state energy companies over royalties owed her for gas extracted from her property.
Recently, a federal judge said she was “shocked” by the help Attorney General Cuccinelli’s office was giving two out-of-state energy companies in their fight against Virginia landowners like Shirley Keene. Cuccinelli even took more than $100,000 in donations to his gubernatorial campaign from the company he was helping. The ad will begin running this week.
