Energy Sector

During President Trump’s first administration, America achieved true energy independence. That didn’t happen by accident, it happened because we put American workers, American resources, and American energy first. That is exactly what I intend to help restore by working with President Trump to make our nation energy independent once again.

We are sitting on some of the largest oil, natural gas, and energy reserves in the world. There is no reason American families should be paying higher prices at the pump or on their electric bills while we rely on foreign countries, many of them hostile, to supply our energy. Producing energy here at home means more American jobs, lower fuel and electricity costs, stronger supply chains, and a safer, more secure nation.

With over a decade of experience in the Oil & Gas industry, I’ve seen firsthand what works, and what doesn’t. While renewable energy has a role in our future, it cannot replace oil and gas when it comes to reliability, scalability, and affordability. Families don’t get to choose when they need power, and neither should our grid. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that is grounded in reality, not ideology.

My Energy Policy Priorities

1. Restore American Energy Independence

• Fully restart and complete the Keystone XL Pipeline.
• Expand federal leasing for oil and gas production on public lands and offshore.
• End policies that intentionally restrict domestic energy supply and drive up prices.

2. Cut Red Tape & Speed Up Permitting

• Streamline federal permitting so energy projects don’t take years to approve.
• Set firm timelines for environmental reviews without endless delays.
• Protect states rights to manage energy production within their borders.

3. Strengthen Grid Reliability & Infrastructure

• Invest in modernizing pipelines, refineries, and the electric grid.
• Support domestic refining capacity to prevent fuel shortages.
• Ensure baseload power remains strong so renewables don’t destabilize the grid.

4. Put American Workers First

• Protect high-paying skilled energy jobs from being outsourced overseas.
• Support apprenticeship and workforce training programs for welders, operators, and inspectors.
• Oppose regulations that kill jobs without delivering real environmental benefits.

5. National Security Through Energy Strength

• Reduce dependence on foreign oil from adversarial nations.
• Use American energy exports to strengthen allies and weaken hostile regimes.
• Treat energy as a strategic asset, not a political bargaining chip.

America doesn’t need to apologize for producing energy, we need to lead. By restoring energy independence, we can lower costs for families, grow our economy, protect our workers, and secure our nation’s future. My commitment is simple: American energy, American jobs, and American security.
