Energy
Texas leads the nation in the production of both conventional and renewable energy sources, providing nearly a quarter of all US energy. Since coming to congress, I have supported and helped create policy that prioritizes American-made energy, reduces dependence on foreign oil, and brings jobs back to central Texas. America’s national security and economic prosperity depend on the continued growth of economically viable sources of energy, and Texas can lead the way.
During the 118th Congress, I voted for H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, to increase domestic energy production, reform the permitting process, and reverse the Biden administration's anti-energy policies.
We must unleash American energy in Texas and across the nation to strengthen our national security and ensure Americans can afford to fill their gas tanks.
