Dave McCormick is a mega-millionaire former CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund whose answer to a question about energy policy at a campaign stop involved mentioning that his wife Dina Powell McCormick is on the board of Exxon.
It should be no surprise that Dave McCormick’s energy policy plan literally starts and ends with oil and gas. McCormick says “we need to get back to the energy policies under President Trump.” McCormick says he would repeal the bipartisan infrastructure law and roll back the Inflation Reduction Act which are expected to bring in billions of dollars in economic growth to Pennsylvania while helping Pennsylvania households save on energy costs.
McCormick is running in a critical battleground state that has seen the highest amount of outside spending for a non-presidential race so far this cycle. McCormick’s own personal wealth combined with the money special interests are pouring in to help his pro-polluter agenda ensure that this race will come down to a razor-thin margin.
