I will continue to work with my friend and colleague, Congressman Hernández, ... and all my Democratic colleagues to demand answers and accountability.
I will continue to work with my colleague and Democratic members to demand answers and accountability from the Department of Energy.
Occurrences
We will hold them accountable, so they do not use this opportunity to pad their bottom line and raise costs even further.
I will continue to work with my friend and colleague, Congressman Hernández, who I was honored to welcome to Hartford this week, and all my Democratic colleagues to demand answers and accountability.
We are requesting a briefing as a first step in our efforts to understand the basis for the Department’s decisions.
Evidence
Larson and 45 House Democrats wrote DOE Secretary Chris Wright requesting a briefing and raising concerns about DOE’s changes to the Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund.
Larson announced an investigation and said the members pressed DOE for answers, demanding a full congressional briefing by April 30.
Assessments
The promise was to continue working with colleagues and Democratic members to demand answers and accountability from the Department of Energy, not necessarily to secure a final corrective outcome. The evidence shows Larson did exactly that during the same term: he joined a formal letter to DOE seeking answers and a briefing, and he publicly helped launch an investigation pressing DOE for accountability. That constitutes direct follow-through on the stated oversight commitment.
