WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Jodey Arrington (TX-19) voted in support of H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act.

From day one, the Biden Administration has launched a whole-of-government assault on American oil and gas producers, the lifeblood of our economy, and cornerstone of our national security. Our nation’s valuable natural energy resources, especially in West Texas, have blessed our nation with economic competitiveness and a quality of life that are second to none,” said Rep. Arrington. "I'm proud to support H.R. 1, which protects and promotes American energy dominance by streamlining infrastructure, lifting burdensome taxes and fees, and unleashing domestic production of our energy resources from oil and gas to critical minerals." 

Background 

The Lower Energy Costs Act restores American energy independence by: 

• Increasing domestic energy production, including in the Gulf of Mexico
• Reforming the permitting process for all industries 
• Reversing anti-energy policies advanced by the Biden Administration 
• Streamlining energy infrastructure and exports 
• Boosting the production and processing of critical minerals
