Wittman. \u201cEnergy costs affect nearly every part of a family\u2019s budget and every product a business makes or transports. America is blessed with abundant energy resources, and we should be responsibly putting those resources to work here at home to lower costs, create good-paying jobs, strengthen our economy, and reduce our dependence on foreign adversaries.\n\n\u201cI will continue advancing an all-of-the-above energy strategy that expands American energy production, strengthens our electric grid, advances nuclear innovation, secures our critical-mineral supply chains, and ensures families and businesses have access to the affordable, reliable power they need.\u201d\n\nCongressman Wittman has worked to advance these priorities, including cosponsoring the bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act, which passed the House this month, and seeks to protect families and small businesses from electricity costs associated with growing data center demand. He has also supported the development of advanced nuclear energy, including provisions establishing a small modular reactor pilot program at military installations, and has led bipartisan legislation to strengthen domestic critical mineral supply chains and map America\u2019s mineral resources.\n\nBackground:\n\nThe American Energy Alliance\u2019s Energy Scorecard evaluates congressional voting and cosponsorship decisions on legislation affecting energy policy.
