WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (Kan.) today released the following statement in response to President Biden calling on Congress to suspend the federal gas and diesel tax for three months:

“A federal gas tax holiday is a trivial attempt to address a serious issue that is hurting Kansas families. When President Biden took office he immediately sought to undermine American fossil fuel production – creating significant difficulty and uncertainty for domestic producers which has contributed to gas prices skyrocketing to historic levels. The Biden administration must shift course and pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy which unleashes American oil and gas production.”
