Joe Cunningham. The American people deserve public servants that are accountable to them, not special interests. The fact that the Senate has allowed a former fossil fuel lobbyist to be the steward of our vital natural resources only makes the need for legislation banning offshore drilling all the more urgent. Background: In March, Congressman Joe Cunningham introduced H.R. 1941, the Coastal and Marine Economies Protection Act, bipartisan legislation that would permanently remove the threat of offshore drilling from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts by eliminating the ability to issue offshore oil and gas leases in those areas. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
