Sam Graves Votes In Favor Of Keystone XL Pipeline

WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Sam Graves, House Small Business Committee Chairman, made the following statement after voting in favor of legislation to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.

"I am proud to have once again voted in favor of building the Keystone XL Pipeline," said Rep. Graves. "The Keystone XL Pipeline will create good-paying American jobs and lower energy prices," he continued.

"The Keystone project has been sitting on the shelf and ready for approval for nearly six years. The American people have spoken and it's time that the Senate and President Obama listen. I hope that they will follow the House's lead and allow for construction to begin, so that hard working men and women in north Missouri and across the country can have some much needed relief."
