By Cong. August Pfluger
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – I was honored to host U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional Administrator Scott Mason and Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak of North Dakota in the Permian Basin this week. To start the day, Diamondback Energy hosted us for a tour of one of their production facilities to showcase the dedication and effort required to produce American energy.
On the tour, we also observed a demonstration by ChampionX to highlight Diamondback's advanced emissions monitoring system.
After the visit, we participated in a roundtable with producers, stakeholders, local leaders, and other EPA officials to discuss how the Trump administration, Congress, and individuals in the industry can work with the EPA, instead of against it as it was with the previous administration, to implement smart, commonsense policies that protect our environment while fostering energy production. The Permian Basin leads the world in energy production, and it was an honor to show them what the region is all about.
I thank Regional Administrator Mason and my good friend Congresswoman Fedorchak for visiting West Texas.

I penned an op-ed in Fox News this week with my good friend and fellow Texan Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne (TX-26), urging Congress to make President Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act permanent. If this provision expires, Americans could face the largest tax hike in history, and specifically in Texas, families could face a 23% tax hike. We cannot let that happen.
As your elected representative, I am committed to ensuring hardworking families keep more of what they rightfully earned. It's time to lock in these historic tax cuts for the American people.
