Cornyn Praises Trump’s Energy and Environment Nominees

On the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) praised President Trump’s energy and environment nominees and discussed the importance of unleashing Texas’ energy sector to provide affordable, reliable, and secure energy nationwide. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here. 

“It should be no surprise to the Biden administration that Texans voted against a president who prioritized keeping radical climate activists happy at the expense of average Americans.”

“With President Trump at the helm, I have no doubt that Texans will be able to breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to their energy needs.”

“Chris Wright, who the President has tapped to lead his Department of Energy, will bring a wealth of experience in the oil and gas sector.”

“I also look forward to working with former Congressman Lee Zeldin, who the President has chosen to be the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.”

“And then there's the former Governor of North Dakota, Doug Burgum, an outstanding choice lead the Department of the Interior.”

“I look forward to working with President Trump's team, and I'm confident that together we can put the full force of the Texas energy sector back on display and, once again, unleash affordable, reliable, and secure energy right here in America.”
