Washington, D.C. – Maggie Hassan has been working overtime to convince Granite Staters she doesn’t have one of the most anti-American energy records in the Senate. This comes at a time when New Hampshire residents are paying obscene amounts for heating oil ahead of winter.
All of this after she stripped American energy producers of many of their means to create more supply and keep our nation 100% energy independent.
Let’s take a deeper look:
- Hassan has voted at least two times against energy exploration in ANWR (Senate Roll Call Votes: 12/2/17, 12/21/17)
- In 2021, Hassan voted three times against legislation to prohibit a ban on fracking (Senate Roll Call Votes: 2/4/21, 2/5/21, 8/10/21)
- In 2021, Hassan voted four times against advancing the Keystone XL Pipeline, killing roughly 11,000 good-paying jobs in the process (Senate Roll Call Votes: 2/4/21, 2/5/21, 3/6/21, 3/6/21)
- In June of 2021, Hassan signed onto a framework indexing the federal gas tax to INFLATION.
- In August, Hassan voted against Sen. John Barrasso’s measure to increase domestic oil production and reduce gas prices.
Let’s also not forget that when she was Governor, Hassan passed the largest gas tax hike in state history!
Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “For years, Maggie Hassan did everything in her power to slow the growth of American energy. She scuttled pipelines, blocked drilling, and is hostile to fracking. Granite Staters won’t forget that she is a big reason we are in this mess.”
