Also working on expanding energy access so that we have access to more abundant, safe and clean energy in our country. Things that will work in our economy to put people forward in the best position possible. Expanding oil and gas exploration within the United States so that we can rely more on ourselves for our energy to fuel our economy. Those are all things that we need to continue to work on. Variety of other things too. I'm working on efforts to impose term limits for members of Congress, ban stock trading for members of Congress as well. (03:52–04:01)
