Braley working across party lines to stand up for Iowa's economy and protect more than 70,000 Iowa jobs
Des Moines, IA - Iowans know they can trust Bruce Braley to represent their interests as their next U.S. Senator because no matter how much special interest money is spent, or whether he's examining a Republican idea or a Democrat idea, he always puts Iowa first. Nowhere is this more evident than in Braley's strong record of working across party lines to protect the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the more than 70,000 jobs the biofuels industry helps support in Iowa.

That's why he has been a leader in fighting back against the Obama administration and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since it proposed rolling back the RFS last November, giving an unfair advantage to big oil while undermining Iowa's energy industry.

Braley is joined in his efforts by bipartisan legislators who understand that the RFS not only promotes job growth in Iowa and across the nation, but also bolsters innovation that helps the United States reduce its dependence on foreign oil and achieve greater energy independence. As Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) wrote in today's Des Moines Register, "Pure and simple, the RFS is good for America's energy, environmental and economic stability."

Watch Braley speak on the importance of the RFS and his work to protect Iowa jobs here:
