Today, Congressmen Mike Ezell (MS-04), Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), Clay Higgins (LA-03), and Randy Weber (TX-14) introduced the Bringing Reliable Investment into Domestic Gulf Energy Production (BRIDGE) Act of 2025 to require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct certain offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf of America. This legislation aims to strengthen American energy security, create good-paying jobs, and support economic growth along the Gulf Coast.
“The Biden regime’s war on energy is officially over. Reliable, affordable energy starts with ensuring regulatory predictability in lease sales,” Ezell said. “The BRIDGE Act ensures and maintains vital lease sales, giving American energy producers the certainty they need. Energy independence is a national security issue, an economic issue, and a family budget issue—and it starts right here at home.”
