As the stock market crumbles and Americans are struggling to make ends meet, the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Republicans held a markup on legislation designed to distract from this administration’s chaos and stroke the President’s ego. The markup featured pushing a Gulf of Mexico renaming stunt – all while families across America face rising costs, real crises, and shrinking retirement accounts thanks to the economy Republicans wrecked. ABOUT OUR COMMITTEE The U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources considers legislation and conducts congressional oversight on all issues within the Committee’s jurisdiction, including the ongoing climate crisis; environmental justice; public lands, waters, oceans, wildlife, and cultural resources; energy development and mining; Indigenous affairs; the U.S. Insular Areas; and all activities of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the U.S. Forest Service, and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. COMMITTEE DEMOCRATS' MISSION Under the leadership of Ranking Member Jared Huffman, House Natural Resources Committee Democrats advance meaningful, justice-oriented solutions to fight climate change, pursue a healthier, more sustainable planet, and elevate the interests of Indigenous Peoples and residents of U.S. Insular Areas.
