Representative Mike Ezell

Dear [salutation],

It's been another great week fighting for our South Mississippi values in Washington. This week has been unique—Republicans have been almost totally focused on one major bill: H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act.

Here's why we made that a priority, plus a few other key updates:

Unleashing American Energy

On Thursday, the House passed H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. The bill was our top priority for this Congress. It increases domestic production of oil, natural gas, and critical minerals by streamlining regulations and reforming outdated permitting processes.

I was proud to have an amendment I sponsored with Congressmen Garret Graves (LA-06), Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), and Jerry Carl (AL-01) included in the final bill.

Our amendment makes a good bill even better by supporting energy production off the Mississippi coast. Energy jobs are critical to the economies of our Gulf states, and I'm always glad to work with other Members to cut red-tape and support those high-paying jobs.

We weren't the only Members to pitch in on H.R. 1. Dozens of Republicans worked together on the bill text and on amendments to create the best legislation possible. It's a great example of how House Republicans are getting things done.

Unlike Democrats (whose number one priority when they had the majority was the disastrous "For the Politicians Act"), we've focused on issues that actually matter to the American people. If H.R. 1 becomes law, you'll see a lower price at the gas pump and our nation will be less reliant on hostile foreign nations like Russia and China.

Standing With Mississippians In Need

I joined the rest of Mississippi's House delegation on the House Floor Wednesday night to call for a moment of silence to honor the victims of last week's deadly tornadoes.

Far too many South Mississippians know what it feels like to see their homes and communities wiped away by a deadly storm. As our neighbors begin the process of rebuilding, I stand ready to partner with other local, state, and federal leaders to help however we can.

You can watch the moment on the floor here.

Opposing Political Prosecutions

While I'm still waiting on the details of the indictment facing President Trump, I'm deeply concerned about the way the process is unfolding.

Here's my full statement on the issue:
