Back in North Texas for the week...   Irving, TX - On Tuesday, I joined the Committee on Oversight and Accountability in North Texas for a field hearing on the challenges and opportunities facing U.S. energy production. As businesses continue to be burdened by onerous regulations, I'm working to strengthen American energy dominance.
