Statement from API Ohio's executive
director, Chris Zeigler (:56)
(ZEIGLER):
"NEW POLLING FROM 'MORNING CONSULT' SHOWS THAT SEVEN-OUT-OF-10
VOTERS--THROUGHOUT OHIO--WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE WHO SUPPORTS ACCESS TO OIL AND GAS
THAT'S PRODUCED IN THE U-S. THIS INCLUDES A STRONG MAJORITY OF BOTH DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS.
ALSO, A FULL 92-PERCENT OF THE STATE'S VOTERS BELIEVE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO PRODUCE ENOUGH
ENERGY--SO THAT THE U-S ISN'T AS RELIANT ON OTHER COUNTRIES. AS ONE OF THE
NATION'S TOP PRODUCERS OF NATURAL GAS, OHIOANS KNOW FIRSTHAND THE ESSENTIAL ROLE THAT OUR INDUSTRY
PLAYS--IN DRIVING AMERICA'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY, KEEPING ENERGY-COSTS LOW, AND PROTECTING NATIONAL SECURITY.
IT'S CLEAR THAT A MAJORITY OF THE STATE'S VOTERS WANT TO SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO WILL STRENGTHEN
AMERICA'S ENERGY-LEADERSHIP--AND TO ENSURE THAT FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE ENERGY.
POLICIES TO RESTRICT DEVELOPMENT, AND JEOPARDIZE GOOD-PAYING JOBS IN OUR
INDUSTRY--INCLUDING MANY UNION-JOBS--ARE OUT-OF-STEP WITH THE PRIORITIES OF OHIOANS, AND WOULD TURN BACK THE CLOCK ON
AMERICA'S ENERGY-PROGRESS."

THAT'S PRODUCED IN THE U-S. THIS INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS, AND REPUBLICANS.
ALSO, A FULL 93-PERCENT OF THE STATE'S VOTERS BELIEVE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO PRODUCE ENOUGH
ENERGY--SO THAT THE U-S ISN'T AS RELIANT ON OTHER COUNTRIES. AS THE
NATION'S SECOND-LARGEST PRODUCER OF NATURAL GAS, PENNSYLVANIA IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE ENERGY-DEBATE:
VOTERS IN THIS IMPORTANT SWING-STATE WILL SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO WANT TO GROW
AMERICA'S ENERGY-LEADERSHIP--AND TO ENSURE THAT FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE ENERGY.
POLICIES TO RESTRICT DEVELOPMENT, AND JEOPARDIZE GOOD-PAYING JOBS IN OUR
INDUSTRY--INCLUDING MANY UNION-JOBS--ARE OUT-OF-STEP WITH THE PRIORITIES OF PENNSYLVANIANS, AND WOULD TURN BACK THE CLOCK ON
AMERICA'S ENERGY-PROGRESS."

AS WE APPROACH THIS YEAR'S ELECTION, IT'S CLEAR THAT MOST MICHIGAN-VOTERS SUPPORT THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT THE NATURAL-GAS- AND OIL-INDUSTRY
PLAYS--IN DRIVING AMERICA'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY, KEEPING ENERGY-COSTS LOW, AND PROTECTING NATIONAL SECURITY.
AMERICAN ENERGY-LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR LAST SEVEN
PRESIDENTS--DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, ALIKE. AND, THIS POLLING SHOWS THAT
VOTERS--THROUGHOUT THE STATE--WANT TO SEE THIS TREND CONTINUE. PROPOSALS TO BAN PRODUCTION ARE OUT-OF-STEP WITH THIS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR AN ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE
ENERGY-APPROACH--AND WOULD SEND AMERICA BACK TO THE DAYS OF RELYING ON FOREIGN ENERGY."
