09/28/2022 Tweet - "A gallon of gas is once again on the rise, averaging $6 across California. Rather than wage a war on our oil and natural gas producers, Governor Newsom should support all-of-the-above energy policies that lower prices at the pump while increasing cleaner energy production."
07/14/2022 Tweet - "Right now, Joe Biden is in the Middle East to beg Saudi Arabia for oil. Apparently, he would rather lobby foreign princes than listen to American producers and job-creators. Talk about America Last."
05/17/2022 Tweet - "Unbelievable. Socialist Democrats would rather do business with socialist regimes instead of giving good jobs to American workers. While Americans pay the highest gas prices in history, President Biden is doubling down on his America-Last energy policies."
05/13/2022 Tweet - "Record prices at the pump this week. This is what we're paying near my home in California. Americans deserve better than the Socialist Democrats' energy policy failures."
10/17/2021 Tweet - "The Democrats' radical, anti-American energy policies are driving inflation sky-high. How do 42% higher gas prices affect your everyday routine?"
10/14/2021 Tweet - "Nancy Pelosi might not notice a near 50% increase in gas prices or a 20% increase that most are paying to heat their homes. But her party's policies--from a natural gas tax to a drilling moratorium--are squeezing most Americans and driving even more supply chain disruptions."
10/14/2021 Tweet - "Dear President Biden: It is total hypocrisy to kneecap American-made energy while simultaneously begging our adversaries like Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to increase their oil production. Your policies are making things much, much worse--for everyone. Signed, @HouseGOP"
08/11/2021 Tweet - "President Biden canceled an American pipeline on Day One. Seven months later, he is now begging OPEC to pump more oil. We could have been more energy independent. We could have developed it cleaner. And with American workers. But Biden would rather put America last."
07/01/2021 Tweet - "We are only 6 months into the Biden administration, and we are in the midst of crises we haven't faced in decades: (special character) Highest gas prices in 7 years (special character) Inflation grew at the fastest rate since 2008 (special character) Alarming crime spike"

Tweet - "Democrats have accomplished a lot in just 2 months: - Higher gas prices - Biden's border crisis - 1 Million energy jobs destroyed And they're just getting started."
02/23/2021 Tweet - "The first thing Biden did as President was halt production on an American pipeline--destroying thousands of jobs & making us more reliant on foreign energy. But he's cool with Russia moving forward with its pipeline. This is what "America Last' looks like."
02/21/2021 Tweet - "Biden Administration priorities: (Special character) Putting Americans out of work by ending Keystone XL (Special character) Opening our border to illegal immigrants (Special character) Keeping kids out of school Americans deserve better."
02/18/2021 Tweet - "On Day 1, President Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline and put thousands of Americans out of work. It was the wrong thing to do. Wrong for families. Wrong for jobs. Wrong for America."
02/11/2021 Tweet - "President Biden promised that his oil and gas ban would apply to new leases only. But the producers I've met with in Texas told me that simply isn't the case. Federal bureaucrats are interpreting the rule in a way that is slowing and even stopping production on existing leases."
02/02/2021 Tweet - "Laurie Cox owns this hotel in Midland, South Dakota--a town with a population of about 120. It's in the path of the Keystone XL pipeline, and a lot of her customers are workers on the project. When President Biden canceled their jobs, her heart dropped."
01/26/2021 Tweet - "President Biden has placed a moratorium on new mining, as well as oil and gas leasing and permitting on federal lands. It will destroy a million jobs, raise energy prices, and damage state budgets. That's why I'm calling on him to revoke this knee-jerk policy. The full letter:"
01/19/2021 Tweet - "The #KeystoneXL pipeline is exactly the type of infrastructure project America needs: (Special Character) Reduces dependence on overseas oil (Special Character) Creates good-paying jobs here at home It would be built by union workers and powered by solar, wind, & battery. Revoking it would be a step backward."
04/13/2020 Tweet - "Thank you to President @realDonaldTrump for working to end the instability in global oil markets, caused by Russia and Saudi Arabia. With a more level playing field, American energy can now compete, and our economy will be better prepared to bounce back from this pandemic."
04/02/2020 Tweet - "I just sent this letter to @SecPompeo urging decisive action with Saudi Arabia and Russia as they threaten America's national security interests by manipulating global oil markets. There must be consequences for those who choose to inflict unnecessary damage on our economy."
03/19/2020 Tweet - "American oil workers are bearing the brunt of Saudi Arabia and Russia's reckless actions. President @realDonaldTrump made the right call to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve with AMERICAN MADE crude--great for workers! Congress will act to provide the money soon"
02/04/2020 Tweet - "The US is the top oil and gas producer in the world, but it didn't happen by accident. It happened because Republicans invested in innovation and put American jobs and American energy FIRST."
09/16/2019 Tweet - "Here's what we know about Iran: They shot down a US drone. They fund terrorism around the world. They want to disrupt oil prices by attacking Saudi Arabia. Thank goodness Repubs lifted America's oil export ban and that Pres @realDonaldTrump terminated the weak Iran deal."
03/12/2019 Tweet - "The #GreenNewDeal calls for the elimination of the oil and gas industry. Meanwhile, the United States is on track to become the world's largest oil exporter by 2021. THAT is a good deal for our economy and for American workers who depend on energy jobs."
