In 2019, the United States became energy independent for the first time in 62 years.

His failed energy policies have not only raised gas prices for our families but have also threatened our national and economic security.

Iowa is home to 42 ethanol plants and 11 biodiesel facilities, which annually produce roughly 4.5 billion gallons of ethanol and 410 million gallons of biodiesel respectively. In 2022, homegrown Iowa ethanol and biodiesel contributed $7.2 billion to Iowa’s economy and fueled $3.5 billion in income for Iowa families. Our thriving biofuels industry also supports 57,000 jobs across our state. I’m especially proud that our district – Iowa’s 4th Congressional District – remains the top producer of both ethanol and biodiesel nationwide.
