Latta to Join House Republican Leadership in Indianapolis, Indiana and San Luis Obispo, California to Discuss Solutions to America’s Energy Challenges

WASHINGTON- Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green), a member of the House Republican American Energy Solutions Group (AESG) will participate in two hearings in Indianapolis, Indiana and San Luis Obispo, California next week with leading energy experts to discuss solutions to America’s energy challenges.

The AESG will be hosting several summits across the country next week in order to develop policy initiatives to lower energy prices for American families and small businesses, and create energy independence for the American people.

“I am honored to join House Republican Leadership for these important hearings in Indiana and California.  Now more than ever, the United States needs a sensible energy policy that includes alternative and renewable energy, in addition to expanding the exploration and recovery of our own natural resources.  I look forward to hearing from the witness panels to gather additional information and ideas on how Congress can implement such a policy,” Latta stated.
