1. Provide additional funding to those affected by 2020 Hurricanes Laura, Delta and Zeta. In September, the delegation included $5 billion in disaster aid in response to 2020 and 2021 disasters. So far, $600 million has been allocated for those impacted by LA’s 2020 hurricanes. — PolitiTweet.org

LA’s Congressional Delegation has 3 main asks for this upcoming funding package: — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Our efforts to deliver hurricane recovery funding for the citizens of south LA is already paying off but clearly there remains much work to be done. Gov. Edwards also recently indicated that for LA disasters alone, at least another $2.5 billion is required to recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Within one month of Hurricane Ida’s landfall, we were able to pass a law with billions of dollars in recovery funding and flood protection investments for Louisiana. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Congress must pass an additional government funding bill on March 11, 2022, and we are calling for supplemental hurricane recovery funding to be included in that package   We need more hurricane relief for Laura, Delta, Zeta & Ida.

Some Biden Admin energy policies since Feb. 7: -FERC to increase bureaucratic red tape for pipeline construction -Stonewalling LNG permits -Considering tapping the SPR -Facing pressure to use Iran’s oil over ours Blocking US natural gas supplies will result in adverse outcomes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

America’s energy production is some of the most efficient in the world and our citizens have proven that we are the most innovative and hardest working. Americans should be in charge of America’s energy future, not Iran or another country. https://t.co/HDSNJRbgaX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This will undermine the security of Israel and the entire Middle East. Iran has been funding attacks against U.S. military, as well as men and women in Iraq, Syria and others. They also fund hostility in other countries. Any deal with Iran needs to be strict and enforceable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

There will be a need soon for more oil on the global markets. We're concerned the Biden Admin is going to accept a bad deal with Iran & its nuclear ambitions to replace some of the lost energy supply Why not produce more of our own American energy? The Biden Admin can not cave — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Gasoline prices, as well as electricity costs for all Americans, will surge – impacting American families’ pocketbooks in all 50 states. Continuing to block and obstruct a cohesive energy strategy undermines America’s leadership in this space. https://t.co/k1M0x38hhB — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Ukraine-related sanctions will cut off Russian energy supplies to some of the world’s largest markets – resulting in surging energy prices. A predictable, adverse outcome? There will be calls for, once again, tapping our Strategic Petroleum Reserves. https://t.co/pEnNoF4C9B — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

A 2nd surge in gas & electricity prices is predictable because of Russia's "veiled" invasion It’s going to cost all Americans more to drive, heat/cool homes & the cost of making groceries There is a way out of this mess. Americans have to be in charge of America’s energy future https://t.co/AMRzJuj4fU — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This bill puts the focus on delivering actual results for Louisiana – ensuring positive outcomes that protect our homes, businesses, communities, and livelihoods. https://t.co/gYx9xpPNw1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

When the United States is the world’s largest natural gas producer with plenty of supply, any effort to limit exports to our allies is not the answer – this is just stupidity that will surely be endorsed by Russia’s Vladimir Putin. https://t.co/A3CqDFnevg — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

FERC is clogging American pipes. For those of you that have been begging for more red tape, more lawyers, more litigation, & more expensive prices at the pump & energy bills, your prayers have been answered. My full statement on their policy changes: https://t.co/6NU5dPaCqg — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

They continue to advocate for irresponsible policy then express shock when it creates an energy crisis. https://t.co/erhOyNpCWi — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Biden Admin: We are working with natural gas suppliers to ensure the global market is supplied Also Biden Admin: We are stonewalling LNG permits to block U.S. natural gas supplies from reaching the global market They can't have it both ways. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Happy to accept your challenge. Didn't realize you were a girl scout. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Rather than developing an exploration & production strategy that relies on America’s resources, lower emissions, affordable energy & creating economic opportunity, Democratic senators’ flawed policies open the door to expanded Russian influence & aggression & higher energy prices — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We highlight the fact that the senators’ letter and continued advocacy to curtail domestic energy production clearly reveal hypocrisy and inexperience in energy security and global energy markets. https://t.co/xBItRfSmbo — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Our letter rebukes false claims of the senators who asked Granholm and the Biden Admin. to limit U.S. natural gas exports in an effort to ease rising domestic energy prices. https://t.co/xBItRfSmbo — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Ten senators asked DOE Sec. Granholm to “take swift action to limit US natural gas exports” & said shutting down U.S. LNG export facilities is “in the best interest of” their constituents They advocate for irresponsible policy then express shock when it creates an energy crisis https://t.co/ESR8Z98MDX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

As Gov. Edwards has previously said, we need at least another $2.5 billion to recover. The next announcement of funding specifically related to Hurricane Ida must be significantly more to adequately fix our homes, energy infrastructure, and communities. https://t.co/Yv0CK4eRgv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

$100 million to help prevent future hurricane, flood and other damages is headed to Louisiana. We can either make investments to protect our citizens or we can spend millions more picking up the debris of destroyed homes and businesses. https://t.co/Yv0CK4eRgv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

This legislation puts the focus on delivering actual results for Louisiana, ensuring positive outcomes that protect our homes, businesses, communities, and livelihoods. (2/2) https://t.co/rwBMorIbod — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We introduced bipartisan legislation that would authorize billions in construction for several major hurricane protection projects and better protect our south Louisiana communities. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

More about the Upper Barataria Basin Project: https://t.co/iWMj0wiJFf — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We had major evacuation routes like U.S. Highway 90 going underwater even before Hurricane Ida made landfall. This is completely unacceptable. The Upper Barataria Basin Project will address this. — PolitiTweet.org
