Record breaking gas prices and sky-high energy bills have hit us hard here in Hampton Roads. We have the solution to this crisis: resources generated right here in the United States.

In today’s world, it’s more important than ever to ensure America’s energy needs can be met by domestic production, not by a reliance on foreign countries such as China and Russia. To put it simply, our energy independence is a matter of national security.

That’s why I am proud to support an all-of-the-above energy strategy that will restore our energy independence, lower energy costs for Virginians, and ensure the United States can continue to be the global leader in reducing emissions.
