Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Hoeven (R-ND), Jon Husted (R-OH), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Jim Justice (R-WV), James Lankford (R-OK), Jim Risch (R-ID), and Tim Scott (R-SC) cosponsored the resolution.\n\n\u201cThis is the time for American energy dominance,\u201d said Lummis. \u201cAfter a four-year war on the west, President Trump unleashed American energy, opening our lands and resources to production and empowering our workers. I am proud to lead my colleagues in introducing this resolution that celebrates American energy independence, and the men and women throughout the west who are powering our lives.\u201d\n\n\u201cIn Wyoming, we know firsthand how American energy production fuels American success,\u201d said Barrasso. \u201cWyoming is America\u2019s energy breadbasket. Our workers produce the energy and resources that keep America running and our economy strong. Wyoming will proudly lead the way in celebrating National Energy Appreciation Day.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe are in a vital moment for American energy, and our skilled and dedicated energy workforce deserves our support and recognition now more than ever,\u201d said Capito. \u201cUnder the leadership of the Trump administration, we have made crucial investments in pursuit of American energy dominance to meet growing electricity demands and power our country into the future. I see this across my home state of West Virginia, as our energy production continues to keep homes warm, lights on, and spur economic development throughout our local communities. This energy infrastructure wouldn\u2019t be possible without the energy workers on the ground who work tirelessly for the benefit of our people and our nation.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump is focused on unleashing American energy\u2014so am I,\u201d said Cassidy.\u201cAmerican energy dominance means peace, a strong economy, and a better life for the American family. The people who work every day toward that goal are worth celebrating.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis Energy Day, I celebrate Idaho\u2019s immense contributions to the production of home-grown energy,\u201d said Crapo. \u201cIt is vital we shore up domestic energy supply chain production to reduce the influence of foreign countries like China. We must work together to find collaborative solutions to our nation\u2019s overall energy needs and an \u2018all of the above\u2019 energy strategy that promotes our energy independence and national security.\u201d\n\n\u201cEnergy and prosperity are inseparable, and America\u2019s energy producers drive the growth and strength of our nation,\u201d said Cruz. \u201cThe American oil and gas industry, led by Texas producers, is the backbone of our economy and supports millions of hardworking families. The Biden-Harris administration pursued a climate agenda that disregarded these basic facts and undermined American energy production, but now with President Trump in the White House and a Republican congress we are restoring American energy. I am proud to join Senator Lummis and my fellow Republican Senators in introducing this resolution.\u201d\n\n\u201c\u201dThis resolution honors the hardworking Americans who power our nation,\u201d said Hoeven. \u201cUnder President Trump\u2019s leadership, we\u2019ve cut burdensome regulations, expanded access to taxpayer-owned lands and minerals, and strengthened domestic energy production. Celebrating these achievements on National Energy Appreciation Day highlights the critical role our energy workers play in driving economic growth, securing our future and maintaining energy dominance.\u201d\n\n\u201cUnleashing American energy is essential to our nation\u2019s strength and security, and it would not be possible without the hardworking men and women who power every part of the industry,\u201d said Hyde-Smith From our offshore rigs and oil fields to our power plants, their work fuels our economy, lights our cities, cools our homes, and delivers the cleanest, safest, and most reliable energy in the world.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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://www.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/lummis-colleagues-introduce-resolution-to-celebrate-domestic-energy-producers-2/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7092120833694935, "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"}
