High Gas Prices net Sensenbrenner over $15k in one day

Congressman Sensenbrenner saw the value of his stock in energy companies increase by over $15,000 yesterday (Thursday, April 27, 2006), while the people he represents are paying record prices at the pump. Bryan Kennedy, his opponent in the upcoming election, is questioning if that is the reason that Sensenbrenner hasn’t shown any leadership in calling for an investigation in the rapidly rising prices at the pump.”

“At about $3 a gallon, many families are really feeling the squeeze at the gas pump,” said Kennedy. “At prices like this, they don’t care about a Congressman’s political party, they want help. It appears that instead of helping the voters he represents, Jim Sensenbrenner is profiting off of them.”

According to a financial disclosure report that Sensenbrenner made, he owns stock in Exxon-Mobile (9728 shares = $8949.76 gain), BP (3604 shares = $4324.80 gain), and Halliburton Co. (2000 shares = $2140.00 gain).
