WASHINGTON, DC – January 29, 2025 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions’ (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey released the following statement supporting the confirmation of Chris Wright as President Donald Trump’s U.S. Secretary of Energy:

“We congratulate Mr. Wright on the strong bipartisan support he received from the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

“The three million members of North America’s Building Trades Unions spend more than 50 percent of their time building, expanding, and servicing the energy sector. Each and every day, we work to meet the critical energy demands of our nation. We look forward to working with Mr. Wright as he endeavors to achieve energy dominance and does so in a manner that supports American workers by providing them with a proven pathway to the middle class.”
