New video highlights Speaker Johnson’s visit to the Permian Basin to kick off House GOP Energy Week

WASHINGTON — Following his visit to the Permian Basin in Texas, alongside Rep. August Pfluger(TX-11), Speaker Johnson released a 60-second video kicking off House GOP Energy Week. The video emphasizes the importance of American energy to the U.S. and global economy and to our national security.

“House Republicans are determined to protect American jobs. We want to unleash American energy dominance again. We want to help our allies. We want to reduce emissions,” Speaker Johnson said. “Energy security is national security, and I think most of the American people understand that as well.”

“I am extremely proud of the Permian Basin and all that it represents. From the hardworking men and women on our oil rigs to the innovative minds in our research labs, this region embodies the American spirit of ingenuity and resilience. The Speaker’s visit underscores the importance of our industry and community. House Republicans are committed to fighting the anti-energy agenda of the Biden Administration and promoting pro-energy policies to restore American energy dominance and grow American jobs. Together, we will continue to lead the way towards a more secure and prosperous future for our nation,” Rep. Pfluger said.
