Hageman, Barrasso And Lummis Busy Helping Throw Out Biden’s Oil and Gas Rules

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Wyoming’s three federal lawmakers voted to get rid of oil and gas industry regulations as Congress this week took up a batch of measures pertaining to the energy sector.

The House and Senate voted on Republican-sponsored joint resolutions to scrap environmental regulations established by former President Joe Biden’s administration. Republicans hold majorities in both chambers, and the various pro-oil measures advanced Tuesday and Thursday with little or no Democratic support.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday in the Senate, Democrats brought to the floor a joint resolution aiming to overturn President Donald Trump’s declaration of an energy emergency. Republicans defeated that move on a straight party-line vote.

U.S. Sens. John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming Republicans, voted with their party on all of the Senate measures. U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, did the same on the House legislation.

“When it comes to American energy, the emergency siren is blaring,” Barasso, the Senate Republican whip, said on the Senate floor Wednesday as he protested Democrats’ attack on Trump’s order.

“After four years of reckless regulations and restrictions by the Democrat administration, energy prices have jumped 31 percent,” Barrasso said before the vote rejecting the Democrats’ move. “Families are feeling it all across the country. For most Americans, this is the definition of an energy emergency. To Senate Democrats, it’s an inconvenient truth.”

Joint resolutions, like bills, have the force of law if passed by both chambers and signed by the president.

We should soon see gas prices start going down as Trump's policies start taking effect. A reduction in gas prices will slow inflation and might actually reduce the cost of some products and services.

However, it is going to be a hard fight since "the resistance" is still heavily in control in some federal agencies.

As Democrats insist on protecting these murdering, drug-dealing, raping, criminal illegal aliens, they are losing more voters every day. They are going to have to cheat at levels never before seen to win any seats in 2026.
