Editor, The Smithfield Times:

On Nov. 8, state Sen. Jen Kiggans was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.

Congresswoman-elect Kiggans is a commonsense conservative with a great record of supporting pro-growth economic policies, including supporting the expansion of clean energy technologies in Virginia. She was recognized in 2022 with our Clean Energy Champions Award, in part for her support of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. She has noted, “Wind is something that I think we should all get on board with,” noting the economic impact of more than $200 million and more than 1,000 new well-paying jobs for the region.

Conservatives for Clean Energy is grateful for Kiggans’ leadership in Richmond, and we know that she will do great things in Washington for the citizens of Virginia’s 2nd District. We look forward to continuing our work with her to advance an all above approach to energy policy.
