National Clean Energy Week (NCEW) today announced that U.S. House of Representatives Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will deliver remarks during the 2022 NCEW Policy Makers Symposium, September 27-29. He will be joined by nearly two dozen members of Congress including newly-added speakers U.S. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), U.S. Senator Krysten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and House Energy and Commerce Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), among others. 

The virtual, three-day Symposium brings together a bipartisan slate of policymakers, administration officials, business leaders, advocates, investors, and non-profit leaders. 

“The addition of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to the distinguished list of speakers at the NCEW Policy Makers Symposium creates an incredible opportunity for attendees to hear directly from the Republican House leader on his approach to advance clean energy policy in Congress,” said Heather Reams, NCEW chair and president of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES). “With Republicans poised to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives next year, Leader McCarthy has been instrumental in formulating an energy and climate strategy that will invest in America, unlock domestic resources, lower costs for families across the country, enhance our national security, and reduce global emissions. I am thrilled to welcome Leader McCarthy to the NCEW Policy Makers Symposium, and I look forward to the remarks  that experts from policy, advocacy, and industry will share.”
