WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement following his vote to confirm Chris Wright to be Secretary of Energy:
“Chris Wright will serve to unleash American energy, and with it bring economic prosperity to America. Chris Wright, like President Trump and myself, understands that in order to be truly energy independent, we as a country must empower our fossil fuel producers while still embracing all forms of energy.
