Schweikert Releases New Television Ad
Highlights Mitchell Anti-Drilling Voting Record

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Today, the David Schweikert for Congress campaign, released the inaugural general Election television advertisement.

The new advertisement calls into question Rep. Harry Mitchell’s anti-drilling voting record. Schweikert campaign spokeswoman Lauren C. Barnett said,

“It is extremely disappointing that Rep. Mitchell voted to block new
drilling and thereby perpetuating America’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil and higher gas prices at the pump. With a mere 54 days until the Election, Democrats are clearly playing politics with oil.”

David Schweikert, who fiercely protected Arizonans’ tax dollars as the Maricopa County Treasurer, understands the importance of domestic drilling.

Schweikert stated, “Americans have declared we need to be less dependent on foreign sources of oil. In Congress, I will vote for domestic drilling and be an independent voice for responsible energy policy,” he concluded.
