AEA Endorses Energy Champion Sen. Ted Cruz
WASHINGTON DC (9/17/24) – The American Energy Alliance (AEA), the country’s premier pro-consumer, pro-taxpayer, and free-market energy organization, is proud to endorse Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) for reelection to the U.S. Senate.
Senator Cruz was one of only five Senators to receive AEA’s Energy Champion designation this year, with a full-term score of 96%.
The AEA Scorecard informs voters on how their elected representatives in Washington vote on policies that impact the availability, reliability, and cost of energy. It holds lawmakers accountable for their votes, not their rhetoric, when it comes to policies that affect families and businesses.
Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, issued the following statement:
“Senator Cruz has consistently proven himself to be a steadfast champion of American energy independence, standing firm against policies that harm our energy sector and drive up costs for Texas families and businesses alike. This includes his introduction of legislation to repeal the Biden-Harris Administration’s natural gas tax, which would particularly harm Texas by undermining producers in the Permian Basin and across the state.
“Throughout his tenure in the Senate, Senator Cruz has cast critical votes to protect and support American workers and promote energy security. His unwavering commitment to free-market principles and opposition to burdensome and often duplicative regulations has made him a champion for his constituents, including the men and women working in the Texas energy industry that powers our economy.
“On the other hand, Sen. Cruz’s opponent, Representative Colin Allred has been a disappointment on energy policy. He repeatedly tries to assure Texans that he supports the industry that generates over a million jobs in his home state, while simultaneously supporting the Big Green, Inc. agenda. Representative Allred has consistently voted against legislation to strengthen America’s energy economy. He is the wrong choice for Texas.
“The American Energy Alliance proudly endorses Senator Ted Cruz for reelection. We believe Texans need him back in the Senate to continue fighting for families and businesses across the state and stop the needless attacks on the American energy industry.”
