Congressional candidates give press conference
Seven Congressional candidates spent the last few days visiting the people of Kaktovik, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and are calling for Congress to open ANWR to drilling.

"I believe that we can drill and obtain that oil on the North Slope certainly much sooner than the 10-year doom and gloom argument made by my opponents in Indiana and the whole Washington leadership," said Republican Indiana Congressional Candidate Greg Goode.

The candidates are from Indiana, Utah, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Pennsylvania.

"Our districts are crying out for help on these energy issues," said Craig Williams, a former assistant U.S. attorney who is running in suburban Philadelphia. "We need an energy plan now and although ANWR won't be the solution, it should be a component of that plan."

Candidates  paid all expenses themselves during the three-day trip to the refuge and the Inupiat Eskimo communities of Barrow and Kaktovik, 600 miles north of Anchorage.
