.@ClearPathAction's innovative program offers a solution for Congressional offices - it will make short-term hiring easier, and in the long-run will bolster the field of conservatives interested in energy policy to work in Congress.
Finding and retaining qualified talent on Capitol Hill has always been a challenge. Identifying mission-driven individuals eager to contribute to conservative clean energy solutions amplifies that difficulty even more.

Great to see @RepLarryBucshon in Terre Haute! An exciting day for American jobs and Oregon-based @ENTEK_extruders
I was in Terre Haute yesterday to help break ground on @ENTEK_extruders' $1.5 billion battery component manufacturing facility. This facility will create hundreds of jobs in West Central Indiana and help us beat China and expand our domestic supply chain for battery technology.

Beyond thrilled to have had Senators @timkaine and @benraylujan at tonight's event with our cochairs @TomDaschle and @gregwalden.
The bipartisanship we saw gives us so much hope for the future #cannabis reform.
It's time for a federal framework!

It is past time to allow the American democratic process to work as it was intended. A federal framework for cannabis will allow states to govern and regulate how they see fit. Read my full op-ed here: thehill.com/opinion/congress… @CPEARCoalition
Smart choice by Fox. I've interacted with @KristopherJ for nearly two decades on telecom policy. He's a pro...both on policy and the art of political process. Even though he's a WSU Cougar, this Oregon Duck says a hearty congratulations! foxcorporation.com/news/corp…
It is more important than ever to stay on the pulse of the electorate. @CPEARCoalition's new polling shows 2/3 of likely Republican voters support ending the federal prohibition on cannabis. Read more: forbes.com/sites/ajherringto…

"Congress should heed the will of voters and give states the right to regulate #cannabis just as they do with alcohol and tobacco."

Best wishes to Chairman DeFazio on his pending retirement. We differed often, but also worked together for Oregon often. He always did his homework and never feared a fight, including with his own leadership. Peter made a real difference for his causes and constituents.
