WASHINGTON, DC — ICYMI (In Case You Missed It): Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) welcomed Maria Bartiromo, host of Mornings with Maria on Fox Business and Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News, to the Permian Basin — the region that keeps America running and fuels our nation's energy independence.
From a Diamondback Energy frac site to a Chevron oil rig, Maria saw firsthand the innovation and grit that makes the Permian Basin the largest, safest, and most secure source of oil and gas in the United States. Local energy leaders also delivered a clear message: President Biden's four-year war on American energy hurt American workers, drove up energy costs, and put a target on the back of the Permian Basin.
During his exclusive interview, Congressman Pfluger highlighted how the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have fought tirelessly to rebuild a pro-energy framework by cutting red tape and putting American producers back in the driver's seat. But the work is far from over. Permitting reform remains a top priority, and as the representative of America's energy capital, Rep. Pfluger plans to lead that charge in Congress once the Democrats quit their political theatrics and open the government.
The visit showcased what Texans already know: the Permian Basin is the crown jewel of American energy, powered by the hardworking men and women who keep our energy, economy, and country secure.
Check out Maria's exclusive interviews from the Permian Basin that aired last week on Fox News and Fox Business to see why America's energy future runs through the heart of West Texas.
