Supports $4 per gallon at the pump.
Friends of Mary Landrieu today released the following statement in response to John Kennedy's partisan attacks on United States Senator Mary Landrieu, D-La.
Landrieu campaign spokesman Scott Schneider said:
"This just goes to show that the National Republican Senatorial Committee was right when they said John Kennedy's not ready for primetime. A trip to www.senate.gov would show that Sen. Landrieu voted to restrict oil speculation, which experts have said is responsible for as much as 50% of recent increases in gas prices. A wide range of experts, including oil executives, consumer advocates and past federal regulators agree that speculation is a significant factor in the current energy crisis. I guess John Kennedy likes paying $4 per gallon at the pump, but Sen. Landrieu is fighting to make sure other Louisianians don't have to.
"Louisianians know that Sen. Landrieu is a leader in the U.S. Senate on oil and gas exploration. It was her bill that opened 8.3 million new acres to oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico - the first time in 25 years that portions of the outer continental shelf were opened to energy exploration. The bill also meant $40 billion for Louisiana for coastal restoration and hurricane protection projects."
