SALT LAKE CITY Democrat Doug Owens is delaying the start of his TV campaign commercials by a week in his 4th District congressional race against Republican Mia Love, from Sept. 15 to Sept. 22.
Owens' campaign manager, Casey Frary, said Tuesday that money isn't the reason for what she called a "strategic decision" to cancel the first week of advertising time reserved on Utah airwaves through the Nov. 4 election.
"We want to make sure that once we're up on TV, we have a very strong and continuous presence," she said, describing the $300,000 ad buy announced this summer as "slightly reduced."
Love's campaign manager, Dave Hansen, said her commercials will still begin airing on Sept. 15. More than $400,000 worth of time on network affiliates and cable channels was paid for months ago, he said.
The decision to scale back Owens' TV commercials won't affect Love, Hansen said. "If anything, we would increase our ad buy as we go along. We'll have to take a look at that," he said. "It does not change our strategy at all."
Hansen said radio commercials will start next week and billboards have been going up for Love, a former Saratoga Springs mayor who narrowly lost to retiring Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, for the state's newest congressional seat two years ago.
The Utah Democratic Party launched a new website opposing Love on Tuesday, NoLoveForMia.com. Matt Lyon, the party's executive director, said the intent is to remind voters of what he termed Love's extreme positions on issues.

Political newcomer Seth Moulton is setting his sights on Republican Richard Tisei in the state's 6th Congressional District, having pulled off the stunning defeat of nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John Tierney in a bitter Democratic primary contest.
Tierney is the first sitting Massachusetts congressman to lose a primary since 1992, when former U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan beat then-incumbent Chester Atkins in the Democratic primary.
Moulton, a former Marine and Iraq war veteran from Salem, will face Tisei in November. He credited his win Tuesday in part on voter frustration with Congress.
"It's time for a new approach to end the gridlock in Washington," Moulton told supporters Tuesday night. "It's not enough to blame the Republicans for the lack of progress at a time when our country faces so many challenges. And it's cynical to think we must accept it."
Tierney, in a brief concession speech, said he was proud of "an amazing 18 years" in office.
Moulton ran a well-financed campaign, suggesting Tierney had been ineffective in Congress.
Tierney is the fourth House incumbent and first Democrat to lose a primary this year. He joins Republican Reps. Kerry Bentivolio of Michigan, Eric Cantor of Virginia, the former majority leader, and Ralph Hall of Texas on the House casualty list.
During much of the primary Tierney had focused his attention on Tisei.
Then, late in the primary, Tierney launched a campaign ad linking Moulton to Republicans who support gun rights and oppose abortion rights. The ad focused on money the Moulton campaign received from the White Mountain PAC, which is affiliated with former U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican.
Moulton said the ad showed that Tierney believed he was a serious challenger.
