Issue Position

The oil and gas industry in Congressional District 23 is a big reason that the U.S. is now a net exporter of crude oil for the first time since the1950s. Making the most of our domestic fossil fuel resources not only creates jobs we sorely need but also moves us toward energy independence from unstable regions. And while we must do the most with the resources we've been given, we must also be good stewards of our future and develop green energy to grow the energy-sector jobs of tomorrow. My son's grandchildren might not have an oil and gas industry to support their economy, and it's our responsibility develop the energy sources of the future today.
