Issue Position

Morgan has been fighting for American energy since he was a member of the House of Delegates. This has continued since being elected to Congress, standing up for the 9th District's coal jobs and leading the defense against President Obama's war on coal.

During his first term in Congress, Morgan successfully passed legislation through the House of Representatives to give businesses more time to comply with costly and burdensome government regulations. Morgan fought the EPA and called out the Department of Energy's bad loans to failed Solar companies. Since then, Morgan has continued to fight the implementation of EPA regulations that are bankrupting the coal industry.

Morgan also supports the development of oil and natural gas off America's coast and the Keystone Pipeline. A clean environment and secure energy future are not mutually exclusive. Morgan believes we can develop and utilize our energy resources while still protecting our environment.
