Central Illinois Congressman Darrin LaHood says that the first step toward the current strain of gas prices was the Biden Administration's choice to cancel the Keystone Pipeline. The Congressman, who is running for re-election indicates Keystone would not have prevented the high gas prices but rather it was a symbol of how reliant on foreign oil America would remain under the Biden Administration.

Formerly the Representative of the 18th District, LaHood is running for re-election to Congress in the newly re-drawn 16th District.
