Find out what Sen. Mitch McConnell said about Cassidy’s commitment to important energy legislation:

I’m excited to announce that when elected, Dr. Cassidy will be a member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. I’m confident Dr. Cassidy will use this position to succeed where Senator Landrieu failed. One of our top priorities will be actually passing the Keystone XL pipeline. And Dr. Cassidy will help lead the charge to rein in EPA regulations that are raising utility rates and costing jobs.
Cassidy responded to this announcement by drawing a contrast between himself and Sen. Mary Landrieu:
Senator Landrieu made much of her seat on the Energy Committee, but failed to use that seat to stand up to President Obama’s assault on our energy economy. I’m excited to serve on the Energy Committee and will use that seat to stand up to President Obama, to deliver a floor vote on the Keystone XL Pipeline and to protect Louisiana’s energy industry.
In the video above, you can watch Cassidy discuss his record of expanding energy exploration and creating jobs. He is with you.
