Each new anti-coal rule and regulation rolled out by the administration costs more good paying jobs, throws more families into poverty, and devastates communities through bankruptcies and a shrinking local tax base. I’ll continue to stand up for the American workers, families and communities that rely on coal, and fight the radical environmental agenda that threatens their way of life.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
