| Two weeks ago, it was revealed that NY-26 Democratic candidate Jack Davis has investments in oil companies, among other energy industries, worth up to $35 million. Davis is invested in Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon-Mobil, Hess Corporation and many other energy companies. The actual income made from only one of these companies equals the annual salary for many people in the 26th. Needless to say, Davis is profiting off of Big Oil.
Today, the Jon Powers campaign called on Davis to "answer questions" about energy independence and his investments.
The Powers for Congress Campaign again called on Jack Davis to answer questions regarding his commitment to reducing the price of gasoline and questions about his $35 million in Big Oil and energy stocks. According to his own records, he has profited up to $288,000 off of Big Oil's record profits.
"Jack Davis claims that he will go to Washington and work to lower gas prices, yet he refuses to answer some seemingly simple questions about the $35 million he has invested in Big Oil and the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has profited off of record high gas prices," said Powers for Congress campaign manager John Gerken. "The more money Big Oil makes, the more money Jack Davis makes."
The Powers campaign made a similar request a couple of weeks ago when they released the Powers energy plan and revealed this information on Davis and his oil investments. Knowing the kind of politician Davis is, he probably won't answer their call for him to answer questions about energy independence and Big Oil investments.
