Rep. Calvert Votes to Build the Keystone Pipeline

Statement

Date: Jan. 9, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Oil and Gas

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) voted along with a bipartisan majority of the House (266 to 153) to approve H.R. 3, the Keystone XL Pipeline Act. The legislation would immediately authorize the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of the Keystone XL pipeline.

"My constituents are sick and tired of the delays in approving and building the Keystone pipeline," said Rep. Calvert. "The recent drop in gas prices highlights the economic benefits of increased energy production right here in North America. Building the Keystone pipeline will increase access to more North American energy sources and further reduce our dependence on oil from the Middle East. President Obama's opposition to the Keystone pipeline and all of its economic benefits shows just how out of touch he is with middle class working families."
