Today, U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) voted in favor of the Protecting States' Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act (H.R.2728), legislation that would protect American jobs and energy production by limiting the Obama Administration's ability to impose duplicative federal regulations on hydraulic fracturing. The House of Representatives passed H.R.2728 with a bipartisan vote of 235-187.
After the vote, Rep. Gosar said, "This common-sense legislation is a job-saver. It will keep the federal government from wasting time and resources imposing a one-size-fits-all regulatory structure on hydraulic fracturing. It's unfortunate that we must protect valuable energy jobs against the Obama Administration's job-crushing regulations."
