The Oil and Gas Association based 30 minutes away from Midland in Odessa, Texas, has 47,000 members nationwide, including in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Alaska.
On the same day that Ron DeSantis launched his national energy policy with a speech in Midland, Texas, the Oil and Gas Assoc endorses President Trump. 😂
(Via Daily Mail) – The Oil and Gas Workers Association is endorsing Donald Trump, snubbing Ron DeSantis on the day of his energy policy announcement to support the former president.
‘Governor DeSantis says a lot of the right things, right, but his track record isn’t there,’ Oil and Gas Workers Association President Matt Coday told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
He cited Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, his decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal, and the former president’s work to save American oil and gas jobs as the reason for the endorsement.
The announcement comes the same day DeSantis announced his energy policy, which includes plans to increase US oil and gas production with the goal of achieving $2 gas in 2025.
‘I will ensure that this country does not have to rely on hostile nations for its energy needs ever again,’ DeSantis said in a speech in Midland, Texas.
DeSantis’s announcement comes as he tries to position himself as the policy-focused GOP candidate. His campaign has been trailing in the polls.
Trump remains the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination with a 46 point lead over DeSantis, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
The former president was campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday with two events in the eastern part of the state. (read more)
Surprise. NOT.

I guess they just don’t to learn to code, Joe.
