Keeping Texas Powered While Keeping Texas Texas

Texas has long been America’s energy powerhouse, and that leadership is more important today than ever before.

Energy independence is not just a national security issue—it is an affordability issue.

Every Texan feels the impact of energy prices, whether at the gas pump, on their electric bill, or in the cost of groceries.

For years, liberal politicians have waged war on oil and gas while pushing costly Green New Dealstyle policies that ignore reality.

If we want lower costs, a stronger economy, and true energy independence, Texas must continue leading the nation in energy production.
