Newhouse Named Clean Energy Champion

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement after being recognized as Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions’ (CRES) 2022 Clean Energy Champion for his work to advance clean energy technologies in Congress.

“It is an honor to be named one of CRES’ Clean Energy Champions,” said Rep. Newhouse. “In Central Washington, we are not strangers to clean energy innovation, and I have worked hard in Congress to support efforts to strengthen and expand these technologies — both at home and across the country. In order to remain the global clean energy leader, we must enact policies that promote increased domestic production, ensure a stable and reliable supply of critical minerals, reduce regulatory barriers for producers, and allow states and local communities to continue leading the way. CRES has been an incredible partner in this work, and I look forward to continuing to advance clean energy solutions and innovation in Central Washington, rural America, and beyond.”

“Congratulations to Rep. Dan Newhouse on his well-deserved acknowledgement as a 2022 Clean Energy Champion,” said Heather Reams, president of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES). “As Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and a member of the Conservative Climate Caucus, Rep. Newhouse has been a steadfast leader in advancing the clean energy industry in the state of Washington and across the United States. CRES is enthusiastic to continue working with Rep. Newhouse on many key initiatives, such as legislation to support hydropower projects, strengthen America’s critical mineral supply chains and make America energy independent by promoting nuclear innovation.”
