Rep. Dave Joyce, the top Republican on an appropriations subcommittee, introduced a measure Wednesday that would force the Biden administration to hold lease sales it canceled in May.
"Every day I hear from constituents who are getting hammered by record-high gas prices," Joyce told Fox News Digital in a statement. "But instead of unleashing American resources to help them, the President continues to prevent and disincentivize domestic energy production, canceling oil and gas leases he supported during the Obama Administration."
"These failed, hypocritical energy policies are making us more dependent on foreign powers - including our adversaries and those with questionable environmental and human rights track records - and driving up prices that are crushing families already strained by rising inflation," he continued.
