A complaint has been filed against Missouri gubernatorial candidate Jay Ashcroft for his use of the term “engineer” in his campaign materials, alleging that he is violating state law by using the title without proper certification. Ashcroft, who currently serves as the state’s Secretary of State, is now being called into question for his handling of the situation.
According to the complaint, Ashcroft’s campaign has been using the term “engineer” to describe his professional background without specifying that he is not a licensed professional engineer in the state of Missouri. The complaint alleges that Ashcroft’s use of the title is a violation of state law and could mislead voters about his qualifications for the governorship.
The issue has put Ashcroft on the defensive, with his campaign releasing a statement that he has never claimed to be a licensed engineer and that he has always been transparent about his qualifications. However, critics argue that his use of the title could be misleading to voters who may not realize the distinction between a licensed engineer and someone who simply has an engineering degree.
As the race for governor heats up in Missouri, this complaint could potentially damage Ashcroft’s campaign and raise doubts about his credibility. It remains to be seen how he will address this issue and whether it will impact his chances in the upcoming election. Voters will be watching closely to see how Ashcroft responds to these allegations and whether he can regain his footing in the race.
