Dan Newhouse (R-WA) participated in a Special Order with the House Energy Action Team to highlight the hypocrisy of the Biden Administration\u2019s rhetoric on high energy prices and the impacts these record prices are having on Americans across the country.\n\nClick here to hear Rep. Newhouse\u2019s remarks.\n\nRep. Newhouse has consistently led on American energy policy, working to support domestic production to restore American energy dominance and drive down prices, such as with the recently introduced American Energy Independence from Russia Act.\n\nRep. Newhouse\u2019s remarks can be found in full below:\n\nMadam Speaker,\n\nFor months, the Biden Administration has been using the excuse that \u2018global markets are complex\u2019 and there are dynamics \u2018out of our control\u2019 that have led to the highest average gas price since 2008 and spiking global oil prices.\n\nThis, Madam Speaker, is disingenuous at best, but really \u2013 it\u2019s simply not true.\n\nAs my colleagues in the Congressional Western Caucus and House Energy Action Team have been saying: We have the power to achieve our own secure energy future. In fact, we achieved energy independence just a few short years ago. But with President Biden and his Administration at the helm, we\u2019ve thrown that security out the window.\n\nDon\u2019t believe the President\u2019s revisionist history by blaming Vladimir Putin for high gas prices.\n\nYou can be sure the cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, the moratorium on oil and gas leasing on federal lands, the lack of action on the offshore leasing program, and the commitment by this President and his cronies to make American energy producers obsolete in just a few years\u2019 time \u2013 yes, all of these are reasons to hold this President responsible for the burden now placed on the American people.\n\nThese rising prices started long before this conflict, and we will continue to hold this Administration accountable for the burden they have placed on the American people.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:06:17Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://newhouse.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/newhouse-biden-administration-alone-responsible-spiking-oil-prices"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.731035066768527, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
