Johnson Campaign: Statement on Drilling in the Great Lakes

Posted July 12, 2010

[Oshkosh, WI] Following continual efforts by Democrats to use oil drilling as a wedge issue to save their election chances this fall, U.S. Senate Candidate Ron Johnson issued the following statement regarding drilling in the Great Lakes:

“The 2005 Energy Bill, which Russ Feingold voted against, outlawed drilling in the Great Lakes. I would not support any efforts to overturn the provision which outlaws drilling in the Great Lakes as Wisconsin’s next U.S. Senator.  Let me repeat: I would reject any and all efforts to drill in the Great Lakes.”
