Washington, D.C. – Gas prices have broken $5/gallon for regular unleaded and hit a new record high average in Arizona: $5.04/ gallon! 

In Maricopa County, things are even worse with prices at $5.39/gallon.  Need diesel?  That’ll cost you a whopping $5.56/gallon. 

As Washington Democrats like Mark Kelly are desperate to make excuses and pass the buck, it’s clear they have exacerbated the problem.  In a short time, Kelly has compiled a brutal anti-American energy record, including:

  • In 2021, Kelly voted three times against legislation to prohibit a ban on fracking (Senate Roll Call Votes: 2/4/212/5/218/10/21)
     
  • In 2021, Kelly voted four times against advancing the Keystone XL Pipeline, killing roughly 11,000 good-paying jobs in the process (Senate Roll Call Votes: 2/4/212/5/213/6/213/6/21)
     
  • Kelly has a 97% lifetime rating from the League of Conservation Voters, a group leading advocacy of the Green New Deal (National Environmental Scorecard, League Of Conservation Voters)

Statement from NRSC Spokesman T.W. Arrighi: “Rising gas costs are arguably the biggest problem facing Arizonans in their day-to-day life.  Yet Mark Kelly acts like he had nothing to do with it, and digs for excuses.  Without question, he shoulders some of the blame, and his record proves that.  The continued pain is a daily reminder of his failures.”
