Offshore energy provides nearly 20% of America\u2019s domestically produced oil and natural gas, and in this time of Democrat-created record high inflation and energy prices, it\u2019s insane this wasn\u2019t done sooner.\n\n\u201cDoubling down on radical Green New Deal policies and continuing to shut down American energy exploration and production is having a devastating impact on American families and small businesses, and in Louisiana, these policies have the added impact of depriving our state of critical coastal restoration funding. House Republicans are committed to stopping President Biden and Speaker Pelosi\u2019s radical agenda and fighting for common-sense energy policies that will utilize our abundant resources to lower prices at the pump, protect our domestic energy production and national security, and create more jobs here at home.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"]], "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://scalise.house.gov/media/press-releases/scalise-statement-offshore-lease-sale-257"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.573676709085703, "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"}
