Congressman-elect Jodey Arrington issued the following statement on President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement that former Texas Governor Rick Perry will be nominated to be the next Secretary of Energy:
“Texas is the number one producer of both oil and wind energy. As Governor of Texas, Perry reduced regulations, cut taxes, and allowed these industries to grow and thrive. Like Texas, our country needs more pro-growth, pro-energy policies.
Congratulations to my friend, Governor Perry. I know he will make an excellent Energy Secretary.”
