On Tuesday, voters in the 46th District have a very important decision to make.

Marcellus Shale dominates the political and economic landscape of our region, and
the choices we make now will have far-reaching impacts for decades to come.
When you go to vote on Tuesday, you deserve to know the facts about the
candidates and their positions on natural gas drilling. Both candidates support
drilling, but they have dierent ideas about what responsible drilling means.
