Had a great meeting with Lee Zeldin today, discussing the need to repeal the U.S. EPA power plant rule and other harmful regulations. I urged him to look to co-ops and NRECA as trusted partners in advancing President Donald J. Trump’ pro-energy agenda.

I’m excited to be in Atlanta for @NRECAnews #PowerXchange25. Electric co-ops understand the importance, and the significance, of coming together. This is where we communicate, collaborate, and where we are inspired. And I can’t wait to see what we get done this week.

Thank you, Secretary Brooke Rollins, for coming to #PowerXchange25. Dept. of Agriculture is a critical partner in helping electric co-ops sustain and revitalize rural communities across America. We appreciate your commitment to cutting bureaucratic red tape by expediting environmental permitting reviews.

Had a productive meeting with Secretary Chris Wright today and shared the story of how co-ops are responding to skyrocketing energy demand. He agreed that U.S. Department of Energy should play an important role in helping us keep the lights on today while meeting the growing energy needs of tomorrow.

Thank you to Secretary Brooke Rollins and President Donald J. Trump for recognizing the importance of Dept. of Agriculture funding for electric co-ops. This week’s announcement outlining the next steps to releasing funds will help co-ops meet skyrocketing energy needs. Read my full statement here: bit.ly/4j3Wu3s

Great to join President Donald J. Trump at the The White House today for the signing of executive orders recognizing the critical role that always available energy plays in maintaining a reliable grid. Several co-op CEOs and I were in attendance. Read my full statement here: bit.ly/42nNBLE

At a time when electricity demand is skyrocketing, we need to be adding more always-available energy to the grid, not shutting down power plants that have useful life left. Thank you @potus, Secretary Chris Wright, Lee Zeldin and Secretary Doug Burgum for prioritizing reliable energy.

Lineworkers are the backbone of America’s electric cooperatives. Today, and every day, we thank them for their service to our communities.

We deeply appreciate President Donald J. Trump' proposals to repeal Biden-era U.S. EPA power sector rules. These rules are unlawful and threaten American families and businesses. Thank you to the Trump administration’s recognition that these rules should be repealed. bit.ly/4dYjOOR

.President Donald J. Trump' executive action rolling back plans to breach the Lower Snake River dams is a big win for reliable, affordable power in the Pacific Northwest. We appreciate the administration’s continuing commitment to smart energy policies. bit.ly/3ZwaVGp
