GAS PRICES

Speaker: Congressman David Valadao
Publication: Congressional Record
Date: 8 June 2022

American Government

  (Mr. VALADAO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, gas prices across the country have 
reached yet another record-breaking high. The pain at the pump my 
constituents are facing is a direct result of this administration's war 
on American energy.
  Unfortunately, the administration continues to pass the blame for a 
crisis of their own making.
  In California, we are suffering with out-of-control prices that 
reached over $6.30 per gallon this week. That is nearly $1.50 higher 
than the national average; thanks, in part, to the State's gas tax.
  Central Valley families are struggling to drive their kids to school, 
get themselves to work, and buy groceries to feed their families. Any 
reduction in prices would provide much-needed relief.
  I am, once again, calling on the State to immediately suspend the 51 
cent per gallon tax. We need to unleash the power of our domestic 
energy production and suspend the gas tax to get these prices under 
control for Central Valley residents.
