WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) has been chosen as the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee House Energy Action Team (HEAT).
The House Energy Action Team will supplement ongoing leadership, committee and conference efforts by serving as messengers of House GOP energy policy. HEAT members will champion and communicate effective policies that unleash affordable, reliable American energy to strengthen U.S. national security and bring down costs for consumers.
HEAT Chairman August Pfluger said, “As the Representative for the Permian Basin—the most prolific oil and gas producing region in the United States—I am committed to telling the story of the men and women of our region who, through hard work and innovation, have unlocked abundant American energy and lifted a billion people out of poverty. The Biden Administration has demonized these very people and this industry in policy and rhetoric. I am excited to lead a well-organized group of Members who are passionate about communicating the benefits of American energy to our national security, our economy, and our American way of life. Thank you to Chairman Hern and Majority Leader Scalise for appointing me to lead this critical initiative.”
August Pfluger comes from one of the top energyproducing regions in the country. His passion for saving American energy will help lead energy policy.
