Gas prices are the top concern facing American families, yet Congress has continuously failed to bring solutions to the floor for a vote. I called on my colleagues to correct that oversight & immediately take up a bill to restart American energy production & lower fuel prices. https://t.co/jd6dcEMqZ4

News broke again this week that even as gas prices spike nationwide, CA continues to be the highest. In #CA08, the difference is clear between the price of California<U+2019>s socialist policies & those of neighboring states. Needles - $5.39 8 minutes away in Mohave Valley, AZ - $2.99 https://t.co/Vm23axCX3s
Today @RepDavidValadao and I lead my California colleagues in once again calling on Gov. Newsom to suspend CA<U+2019>s gas tax before it increases by a further 3 cents on Friday. Read our full letter here: https://t.co/Z2IOO1M0sh
Regulations, taxes & fees have resulted in CA gas prices roughly $1 higher than natl average. In addition, our home energy costs are some of the highest, yet our grid is unreliable. Our nation needs energy independence, not policies that have failed in CA. https://t.co/O8ARou3Reu
I am proud to support HR 21 to lower energy prices by requiring the fed. govt to permit at least enough new energy development to replace the petroleum being released from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve. We can fight poverty by unleashing American energy! https://t.co/HWy8xwpJtG
We are still facing record-high gas prices across our country, and every day I hear from people here in #CA08 about the financial toll these prices are taking. I took a closer look at this issue in a new op-ed to the @sbsun. Read the article here: https://t.co/ygVmSODsiO
ICYMI - I was proud to support the Strategic Production Response Act on Friday to constrain the reckless release of resources from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This bill will ensure a concrete plan is in place to refill the SPR & unleash American energy production. https://t.co/S4stMbc89w
RT @HouseGOP: House Republicans are committed to restoring American energy independence through our #CommitmenttoAmerica. Read more from<U+2026>
We must unleash the power of American energy production to stabilize energy prices for American families, keep our nation secure from foreign adversaries, and capitalize on our best-in-class clean energy technologies. https://t.co/UmOFOMgg1x
I was proud to see CA's first renewable natural gas facility commissioned in Victorville. We need to adopt an all-of-the above approach to produce clean, reliable & affordable energy. When we produce energy domestically, we improve national security & decrease global emissions. https://t.co/p5QmnakGRw
