Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Chris Wright as U.S. Secretary of Energy:
“From day one, President Biden worked relentlessly to kneecap American energy production, both onshore and offshore. Secretary Wright’s singular focus on restoring affordable domestic energy is a welcome change after four years of policies that put ideology and politics ahead of American workers. I look forward to working with Secretary Wright to move our country toward greater energy dominance and to support the agency’s job-creating policies, like their work at the Department of Energy site in Paducah, Kentucky.”
