Western Energy Alliance has a non-partisan, multi-candidate federal Political Action Committee (PAC) to support candidates for federal office who value the role of the oil and natural gas industry in the West. Our PAC strives to educate candidates on the important issues and concerns our industry faces in these challenging times.
​
The overarching goal of Western Energy Alliance is to improve the climate for oil and natural gas businesses in the West. Access to affordable, reliable energy is vital to the American economy and the foundation for nearly every human endeavor. We work with PAC recipients to implement policies that encourage oil and natural gas exploration and production while fighting overregulation and other detrimental policies. The PAC contributes to candidates who share our goals and meet one or more of the following criteria:
​
  • Represent a western state
  • Occupy key committee assignments
  • Advance legislation that encourages domestic energy development
  • Oppose incumbents and candidates who are hostile to our industry.
