I’m focused on energy affordability, reliability, sustainability, and security. Energy is the foundation of a strong economy and a high quality of life—for North Dakotans and people around the world. I firmly believe that nothing is truly sustainable if it isn’t affordable and reliable. 

As a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, I am committed to advancing policies that unleash America’s energy production, strengthen our national security, lower costs, and support economic growth. I will work with the Trump administration and my colleagues in Congress to expand domestic energy production, promote innovation, and ensure American energy remains affordable and accessible while improving environmental stewardship. 

North Dakotans have always understood the importance of protecting the land, water, and resources that sustain us. I’ll always work to support policies that preserve our environment, create jobs, and allow North Dakota to feed and fuel America for generations to come.
