Dems silent on Biden fracking ban

January 22, 2021

Hi! 

We’re a little over two days into the Biden presidency and his administration’s decimation of energy jobs continues! 
 
Releases like the below were sent to energy-focused districts asking if vulnerable House Democrats agree with Biden’s ban on new oil and gas leases on public lands. 

Will Democrats dare speak up? 

Filemon Vela silent on Biden fracking ban
Colin Allred silent on Biden fracking ban
Henry Cuellar silent on Biden fracking ban
Vicente Gonzalez silent on Biden fracking ban
Lizzie Fletcher silent on Biden fracking ban
Tim Ryan silent on Biden fracking ban
Matt Cartwright silent on Biden fracking ban
Conor Lamb’s silence on Biden fracking ban is deafening



Hi!

Joe Biden just delivered on another one of his campaign promises, placing a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on public lands. 

These leases account for 25% of the United States’ crude oil output and a ban on new leases could cost 60,000 jobs and $800 million in public funding for services such as public schools and first responders. 

Henry Cuellar argued in 2015 that lifting a ban on crude oil exports would lower gas prices, create more jobs and help US interests.

Now, Cuellar is silent as Biden bans new fracking and implements job-killing energy policies in the middle of pandemic.

Why won’t Cuellar stand up for Texas jobs?
