Hudson Votes to Approve Construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement after voting for the Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act (S. 1):

“For over six years, President Obama has dragged his feet on the Keystone XL pipeline, putting lower energy costs, more jobs and America’s priorities on the sideline. Today’s vote to put this critical legislation on his desk will finally make him choose between the American people who want jobs and left-wing environmentalists who want to end domestic energy production."
