Democrat Mark Kelly in Debate Claims a Letter He Wrote to Biden Was Enough Work on Energy, Voted for Anti-Fossil Fuel Agenda
By Jordan-Dixon Hamilton
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) touted a letter he sent to Joe Biden asking him to ramp up oil production in the Gulf of Mexico in a debate Wednesday, but in reality, he has voted for the anti-gas-and-oil Biden Agenda 94 percent of the time, including the leftist green energy initiatives in the Inflation Reduction Act boondoggle.
At the debate with his Republican challenger, Trump-endorsed Blake Masters, and Libertarian candidate Mark Victor, Kelly referenced a letter he and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) penned to Biden in March, asking him to develop a gas production program in the Gulf.
While new contracts were ultimately awarded in the Gulf, Kelly has been an accomplice to Biden’s war on energy with his deciding vote for the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which created “hundreds of billions of dollars in green energy slush funds for the federal government to dole out,” as Breitbart News reported.
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) blasted the Inflation Reduction Act’s effect on the oil and gas industry while appearing on Fox Business’s Evening Edit days after it was signed by Biden in August:
If you look at actually, how the bill is structured, 70% of the people who currently get a tax credit aren’t going to get a tax credit. So, this whole notion of trying to incentivize people to move from fossil fuels to electric is just — now, it’s a huge disincentive. So, I don’t get it.
“ I mean, they’re actually taxing oil. They’re taxing natural gas. People’s gas — natural gas bill for their power to heat and cool — heat their homes and cook their food is going to increase 17%. And they’re talking about decreasing inflation? It’s a joke,” he added.
Kelly, who claims to be moderate, has voted for Biden’s radical agenda 94 percent of the time, as FiveThirtyEight notes…..

How Not to Vote in Arizona
The 2022 midterm election is fast approaching. The system for voting in Arizona is predominantly by mail-in ballots (around 80% of all ballots). The ballots will be mailed out to all voters registered for mail-in voting on October 12th. The actual ‘day’ of the election is Tuesday November 8, 37 days later.
Once upon a time when all voters went to the polls on the day of election, the tabulated results were announced the night of the election date. If the result of a specific race was razor thin and less than a legislated margin, a recount might prevent the naming of a winner. That was the exception for calling the results of the election.
It is still this way in most first world countries but not the United States and certainly not Arizona. Voting rules (some unconstitutional) were dramatically altered in many states in 2020 because of the Covid pandemic.
We at The Prickly Pear are very concerned about the flaws in Arizona’s predominant ‘mail-in’ voting system.
