Last night, Shelley Berkley joined her liberal friends in Washington and voted against the Jobs and Energy Permitting Act that could create approximately 54,000 jobs and ensures that the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System remains operable, protecting energy supplies for millions of American families and small businesses struggling with high gas prices.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Shelley Berkley (D-Las Vegas) has voted against pro-domestic energy and pro-jobs legislation.  In fact, this is now the fourth common-sense energy bill that Berkley has voted against in just this Congress.  Meanwhile her opponent Byron Georgiou has continued to remain silent regarding his position on domestic energy production.

“This year, Las Vegas Congresswoman Shelley Berkley has voted four times against strengthening domestic energy production, which would increase our supply of domestic oil and reduce the price of gasoline,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox.  “With the high price of gasoline, Nevadans deserve to know why neither Shelley Berkley or Byron Georgiou are proposing anything that will help ease the pain at the pump for Nevada families.”
