Murkowski Comments on the Nomination of Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for DOE Secretary | 2016-12-14 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | AK | Lisa Murkowski | M001153 | www.murkowski.senate.gov | legacy | 12.14.16 Sen. Murkowski Comments on the Nomination of Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for DOE Secretary U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today issued the following statement on President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of former Texas Gov. Rick Perry as Secretary of the Department of Energy. I welcome the President-elect's nomination of former Gov. Rick Perry to be Secretary of Energy. I strongly believe the leadership at this Department should have a broad understanding of the need to increase access to energy, make it more affordable, and improve environmental performance all key factors that should drive our nation's innovation policy. As a former governor of Texas, Rick recognizes the economic and security benefits of technology innovation and an energy supply that is diverse, reliable, and affordable. I look forward to meeting with Gov. Perry to discuss a wide range of important issues, including the high cost of energy in Alaska, the United States' innovation excellence, the future of nuclear energy, LNG exports, and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. I also look forward to learning more about the team he would put in place around him, and to considering his nomination before our committee at a hearing in early January. Murkowski is chairman of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Related Issues: Energy Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
