CONGRESSMAN LEONARD LANCE ON ENERGY AND GAS PRICES

 “As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee I am working to enact an 'all of the above' energy plan to help bring down fuel prices, create more American jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil.” – Congressman Leonard Lance

As a member of this influential Energy and Commerce Committee, Congressman Leonard Lance is working tirelessly to increase our energy independence and lower energy prices for American families and small businesses alike.

Congressman Lance is committed to an "all of the above" national energy policy to help bring down rising gas prices, create more U.S. Jobs and reduce our Nation's dependence on foreign sources of oil.

Congressman Lance firmly believes that more domestic energy production would help address rising prices at the pump.  That's why he has voted in favor of several pieces of legislation that would increase U.S. energy production and reduce onerous federal regulations that drive up energy costs on families and small businesses.
