Hello Friend,
Welcome to my e-newsletter, the Ready Room. As a retired Naval Aviator, the Ready Room is special to me because it’s where fellow aviators meet to brief and debrief missions. This is my weekly briefing to you on my mission in Congress. Please follow me on Facebook , Twitter , Instagram and YouTube for regular updates on how my team and I are working to serve you in Congress.
The Biden Administration MUST End Their War on Domestic Energy
Gas prices have doubled since President Biden took office, hurting the pocketbooks of all Americans. Instead of lowering costs by unleashing America’s domestic energy supply, the Biden administration pursues Green New Deal policies while begging The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel to pump more oil. Restricting American energy production and leaning on foreign adversaries is not a viable solution to our energy crisis. The answer to America’s energy needs is to ramp up domestic oil production to lower costs and create jobs here at home.
