WASHINGTON – Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) endorsed Rep. Pete Stauber (R-Minn.) for Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District.
“Now more than ever, we need policymakers in Congress who embrace commonsense energy solutions that lower costs for American families and reduce emissions. CRES is proud to endorse Rep. Stauber for doing just that,” said CRES President Heather Reams. “Rep. Stauber has a clear understanding of the importance of addressing our nation’s growing energy needs through an all-of-the-above approach. He is not only a leader on Capitol Hill — but is a warrior for the needs of his district, and we are optimistic that voters will recognize his dedication and support him at the polls.”
“We must support an all-of-the-best energy approach, and it needs to be reliable and affordable, and I am honored to be endorsed by the Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions,” said Rep. Stauber. “Minerals required for our 21st century economy are stored in northern Minnesota, and we need to untap those resources. Mining is part of our past, present, and future and we must do all we can to utilize these God-given natural resources to ensure hope, opportunity, and prosperity for the hardworking residents in our part of Minnesota. When it comes to meeting our energy needs, we have the solutions right here under our feet.”
The CRES-endorsed candidates for the 2024 election have each played a leading role in advancing clean energy policies that reduce global emissions while addressing America’s energy needs. As a member of the U.S. House Conservative Climate Caucus (CCC), a group dedicated to pragmatic energy and environmental solutions, Rep. Stauber champions clean energy key initiatives. These include streamlining permitting processes, bolstering critical mineral supply chains, promoting domestic energy production, advancing clean hydrogen, nuclear energy and other next-generation technologies. CRES is proud to endorse candidates, like Rep. Stauber, who will continue to support clean, reliable and affordable energy sources, while ensuring we meet growing energy demands crucial for maintaining national security.
