Energy is becoming the central issue in the upcoming U.S. Senate race. Democrat Mark Warner was in Roanoke Thursday morning talking to business leaders.
Many told the former governor how high gas prices are hurting their business from construction to restaurants. Warner says democrats and republicans will have to agree on a plan to lower gas prices.
Mark Warner, (D) U.S. Senate Candidate - "People are ready to do their part if they have leaders that will ask us to step up, not as democrats or republicans but as Americans and on this energy issue, they want a plan, they want a comprehensive plan that takes the best ideas from both sides."
Warner's opponent, republican Jim Gilmore also favors a comprehensive energy plan. The only difference being more emphasis on offshore drilling. He says a commitment alone will help lower prices.
