Senator Jeff Bingaman, D-New Mexico

Senator Jeff Bingaman, D-New Mexico is the Ranking Member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and one of the Senate's principle advocates for protecting the country's vast natural resources and for promoting sound energy policy. Maintaining and enhancing national security is one of Bingaman's top objectives on the Energy Committee. He believes a strong domestic petroleum industry is a cornerstone to both our energy security and our economy. Bingaman led his party in introducing comprehensive energy legislation that seeks to increase domestic oil and natural gas production, while taking a realistic approach to reducing energy consumption in the long-term. The legislation also strengthens the hand of independent oil producers by encouraging further production on private and state lands.
