WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, issued the following statement after the Senate’s bipartisan vote to confirm Mr. Chris Wright, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Energy (DOE).

“For the last four years, when Americans opened their energy bills, they didn't see ‘climate plans’ —they saw costs piling up and questions they couldn't answer. With Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy, I am confident that we can reverse the irresponsible policies of the Biden administration and prioritize affordable and reliable energy. Under his leadership, the DOE will once again support the American worker, the American family, and the American future,” said Chairman Lee.
