I've taken direct action to make the process of buying a lease, surveying the land, and beginning resource development easier, less bureaucratic and more predictable. I was the only Democrat on the National Resources Committee to support legislation requiring three lease sales in Alaska and ten in the Gulf of Mexico. Over the next five years, I'll continue to be a leader within my party, supporting needed and responsible energy development around the nation, and especially in Alaska. Thank you, Representative Peltola. (25:29–25:38)
