Gas Prices in California hit an all-time high; Denham remains in the tank for Big Oil
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Modesto, CA – Last week gas prices in California shot up more than $.50 per gallon across the state, impacting middle class families dramatically. But with Hypocrite Congressman Jeff Denham receiving more than $80,000 in contributions from Big Oil and Gas – how can we trust anything he says about rising gas prices now?
“It’s times like these that the Valley needs a real leader who will work hard to find consensus solutions to the big problems our country faces,” said Jose Hernandez, candidate for Congress in California’s 10th Congressional District. “But, instead of standing up to Big Oil, Congressman Denham has been in the tank for them. He’s taken more than $80,000 from Big Oil and returned the favor by giving them billions in taxpayer giveaways on top of the billions in profits they are making at the expense of Central Valley families who are paying more than ever at the pump.”
