John Barrasso
The Public Record
John Anthony Barrasso is an American politician and physician serving as the senior United States senator from Wyoming since 2007. A member of the Republican Party, Barrasso has focused on issues such as healthcare, energy, and economic growth during his tenure in the Senate. He has been an advocate for reducing government regulations and promoting energy independence, reflecting the interests of his constituents in Wyoming, a state rich in natural resources.
Fiscal disclosure requirements make sense. We have them here in the Senate. They should also apply to the financial dealings of advisors to Puerto Rico's Oversight Board hired under PROMESA.
He was a long-term member of this committee, did an amazing job in the Senate.
I strongly support Israel's right to defend itself and to protect its people.
It gives us a seat at the table. It allows us to help influence decisions, it allows us to engage.
The U.S.-Israel relationship has long been the cornerstone of America's strategy in the Middle East.
The Iron Dome system intercepted more than 90 percent in terms of being effective in intercepting the rockets threatening civilians.
The Bureau of Reclamation also needs to be a higher priority for this Administration if we are to maintain and grow a viable, rural, western economy.
The Department needs to change course and get back to an American energy-dominance agenda--an agenda that creates jobs and provides for energy independence from foreign adversaries.
Would you agree with me that now, during historic drought conditions, it is time to prioritize Western water infrastructure, not cut infrastructure from it?
However, to date--and here we are, it is now July 27th, six weeks later--the Department has failed to notice any oil and gas lease sales.
On June 15th, a federal court issued a nationwide injunction against President Biden's ban on oil and gas lease sales on federal lands and waters.
He was a friend and colleague to so many of us, and I am going to be going to the floor.
The Biden Administration seems intent on destroying the livelihoods of oil, natural gas, and coal workers in the West.
The Biden Administration can and should do more to make America energy independent and maintain and create more jobs in the West.
I urge the President to send us a nomination so we can get this position filled as quickly as possible.
We need to help protect Ukraine and I feel that we have made some significant steps in that direction with this agreement.
This new deal, I believe, is a grave mistake. The President is giving Russia a new geopolitical weapon.
Congress is the only one really willing to impose meaningful costs on Russian malign projects and support our allies facing the Russian aggression.
There is strong bipartisan opposition to the President's deliberate failure to abide by U.S. law and sanction all of the entities involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
I want to make Joe Biden a one-half-term president. And I want to do that by making sure they no longer have House, Senate, White House.
