Filemon Vela silent on Biden fracking ban

January 22, 2021

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. 

Yet, Filemon Vela  is silent as Joe Biden implements these job-killing policies in the middle of a pandemic. 

Why won’t Vela stand up for Texas jobs?
