HEAT (House Energy Action Team)
The House Energy Action Team is a recent addition to RSC. HEAT is the leading voice among House Republicans on energy independence. HEAT educates Members on energy policy that empowers domestic energy producers, utilizes an all-of-the-above energy strategy, and puts America back on the path to energy dominance on the world stage.
MEET CHAIRMAN TROY BALDERSON:
Congressman Troy Balderson (OH-12)
Congressman Troy Balderson was sworn in as a member of the United States House of Representatives on September 5, 2018, and represents Ohio’s 12th Congressional District.
Troy is a member of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees American energy, health care, and telecommunications policies, among other areas.
A lifelong Ohioan, Troy was born and raised in Muskingum County and graduated from Zanesville High School. Prior to his career in public service, he worked on the family farm and ran the service department for his family-owned small business.
Troy is a principled conservative and champion for restoring American energy independence, advancing innovations that make it easier for rural Ohioans to access health care, and better preparing our region's next generation for in-demand careers.
“Ohioans have seen firsthand how innovation in American energy creates good-paying jobs and revitalizes communities. Our nation is blessed with abundant natural resources to drive future growth and export clean, reliable energy to our allies abroad. The federal government must work alongside energy producers to develop policy solutions that meet our nation’s needs and bolster American energy security. It is an honor to be selected to serve as Chairman of the House Energy Action Team, and I look forward to working with President Trump, Chairman Pfluger, and my HEAT colleagues to usher in a new era of American energy dominance.”
