(R) Congressman Garret Graves - District 6
While Congressman Garret Graves was considered for Transportation Secretary, the role went to Sean Duffy. Graves expressed support for Duffy and their collaboration. He highlighted Trump’s cabinet selections as a sign of significant change, emphasizing the administration’s focus on inflation, infrastructure, energy, and stressed addressing illegal immigration.
“I think people want a new direction and of course one of the biggest ones is stopping this southern border madness that’s going on. Distinguishing us from Mexico.”
Graves criticized the Biden administration’s energy policies, particularly the lack of new energy production areas, which he claims disproportionately impacts Louisiana. He anticipates that Trump will open areas like the Gulf of Mexico for production.
“I think one of the first things you’re going to see Secretary Burgum do at the Department of Interior is open up some of the production areas in the Gulf of Mexico. Open up these areas for business to where we can begin future production.”
Graves conveyed optimism about Trump’s leadership and his dedication to Louisiana’s interests, particularly in energy policy and economic growth.
