Stauber to continue to chair subcommittee with jurisdiction over energy and mineral resources
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) announced Friday that he will continue to serve as the Chairman of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee within the House Natural Resources Committee. Congressman Stauber is the first Representative from Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District to both sit on and lead the subcommittee.
“With President Trump headed back to the White House and a unified Congress ready to work, I know we can finally undo the damage committed by the Biden Administration and unleash our nation’s vast energy and mineral resources,” said Congressman Pete Stauber. “I am incredibly grateful to lead this subcommittee at this pivotal time in American history, and I thank Chairman Westerman for entrusting me with this incredible platform.”
House Natural Resources Chairman Bruce Westerman stated, “Restoring energy dominance and unleashing our vast resources are two of this committee’s top priorities. Rep. Stauber is no stranger to these issues, from leading the Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee last Congress to fighting back against the impacts of the Biden administration’s disastrous energy policies in his home state of Minnesota. With Congressman Stauber at the helm, I know this subcommittee will continue to move us closer to our goals of restoring America’s energy dominance.”
