Defunding the EV mandate will protect the freedoms of the people in the West so they can continue to choose what car or truck they want to drive. “While we are supportive of the free market producing electric vehicles to satisfy a market need, this misguided EPA mandate would have an immediate, detrimental impact on the choices and affordability of cars, trucks, and SUVs available to our constituents,” the Senators wrote. “It also increases America’s dependence on China.” Crapo and Risch were joined in sending the letter by Senate Western Caucus Chair Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming), John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota), Pete Ricketts (R-Nebraska), Deb Fischer (R-Nebraska), Steve Daines (R-Montana), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Eric Schmitt (R-Missouri), Dan Sullivan (R-Arkansas), John Boozman (R-Arkansas), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), James Lankford (R-Oklahoma) and Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Click here to read the full letter. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
