Congressman Paul Hodes Supports Legislation to Increase Domestic Drilling

Washington, DC--- Today, Congressman Paul Hodes voted for new legislation that would require oil companies to drill right now on available lands. The DRILL Act, H.R. 6515, would promote the responsible domestic production of oil and natural gas, particularly in 20 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
