Today, The Empowerment Alliance spokesman Ian Prior released the following statement following the Georgia runoff elections:

“With a 50-50 Senate for the next two years and Green New Dealer Kamala Harris as a deciding vote, Joe Manchin has a prime opportunity to be the savior for low-cost, domestic energy production that will continue to power America’s march towards full energy independence.

“We hope that Senator Manchin will take advantage of his unique position in the Senate to be an independent fighter against extreme energy proposals that would not only devastate West Virginia, but would weaken the United States and strengthen our energy rivals in Russia, China, and the Middle East.”
