This is bipartisanship at work. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I will say this Committee does love to pick on California, but that is OK. We have thick skin.

The future of energy must be sustainable and equitable for all communities.

Big Oil has gotten very good at passing the costs of their business onto the public.

I thank Ranking Member Nadler for his leadership on this issue. Under almost any other circumstance, law enforcement and intelligence agencies need a warrant to access our personal information. Even in the cases of utmost national security…

Nothing could be further from the truth. American oil and gas production is at all-time highs.

I am so concerned I am planning to send a letter to BOEM requesting that they finally end the practice of categorically excluding offshore rigs from environmental reviews.

This final rule is a great step in the right direction.

My son Paul broke my heart with a question. He asked: Mom, will you come visit me when I grow up and live outside of California? I asked: Why would you want to live out of State? It wasn't that there is somewhere else he would rather be…

There is harm, not just from an environmental justice standpoint, but from a livelihood and a cultural standpoint.

I thank the ranking member for his leadership. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to oppose the neocon march into another war in the Middle East. It is the same chorus. This time it is Iran. John Bolton, who blundered us into Iraq, now is calling…

This is a policy that puts Americans first.

this President has one concern: lowering prices for the American people.

National security comes from transitioning away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible.

True energy independence means producing clean energy for our communities here at home.

Instead of yet another hearing on offshore oil and gas, we should be focusing on a different, primarily untapped offshore resource: wind.

Your policies sound insensitive and mean to the most vulnerable people on earth, and I really detest that.
