Senator-elect David Perdue Statement On Keystone Vote

U.S. Senator-elect David Perdue today released the following statement on the Keystone XL Pipeline vote:

“The Keystone XL Pipeline should never have been a political issue. It’s disappointing that tonight Senate Democrats prevented its passage. Building Keystone would create thousands of American jobs and help lower energy costs for Georgia families. In the new Congress, I’m hopeful that the Republican majority will finally act on jobs and energy bills once blocked by Harry Reid and get the Senate working again. Unleashing our nation’s full energy potential remains one of my top priorities in the U.S. Senate.

I will work to advance serious policies that responsibly develop all of our energy resources, create good jobs, and make America more energy independent.”
