Built around 1920, the Garrison House was the home of Memphis Tennessee Garrison, a leading figure in the advance of African-American civil rights for the last forty years of her life. I secured more than $146,000 from the National Park Service for the Carter G. Woodson Memorial Foundation to repair the house and transform it into an African American and civil rights museum in Huntington, WV.

MY STATEMENT ON CONTINUED RUSSIAN CRUDE OIL IMPORTS
“The entire world is watching as Vladimir Putin uses energy as a weapon in an attempt to extort and coerce our European allies. While Americans decry what is happening in Ukraine, the United States continues to allow the import of more than half a million barrels per day of crude oil and other petroleum products from Russia during this time of war. This makes no sense at all and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s energy security. The United States can and must ramp up domestic energy production and increase access to our abundant resources and technologies to both protect our energy independence and support our allies around the globe.
“If there was ever a time to be energy independent, it is now. I am calling on the Administration and industry partners to take action immediately, up to and including banning crude oil imports from Russia. To continue to ask other countries to do what we can do for ourselves in a cleaner way is hypocritical. To continue to rely on Russian energy as they attack Ukraine is senseless. In the coming days and weeks, the strategic value of American energy and what can be done to better position our nation on the global stage will be an ongoing topic in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.” |
