Miller-Meeks, Budzinski, Smith, and Pocan Lead Letter to Support E15

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representatives Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Adrian Smith (NE-03), and Mark Pocan (WI-02) sent a letter to Speaker Johnson, Leader Jeffries, Chair McMorris Rodgers, and Ranking Member Pallone requesting a legislative solution to allow the voluntary sale of E15 year-round nationwide. 

In the letter the legislators discussed the need for certainty regarding the voluntary sale of E15: “We write to express our support for swift passage of a legislative solution which would allow motor vehicle fuel containing 15 percent ethanol (E15) to be voluntarily sold year-round throughout the country. In light of the recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule allowing the year-round sale of E15 in eight Midwestern states beginning in 2025, governors, agriculture producers, ethanol refiners, oil refiners, retailers, and the automotive industry have all recognized the need for permanent law which provides needed certainty for producers and consumers in every state.”

Other cosigners include: Reps. Mark Alford, Don Bacon, James Baird, Mike Bost, Stephanie Bice, Sharice Davids, Byron Donalds, Ron Estes, Randy Feenstra, Brad Finstad, Michelle Fischbach, Mike Flood, Ashley Hinson, Jonathan Jackson, Dusty Johnson, Marcy Kaptur, Mike Kelly, Darin LaHood, Greg Landsman, Jake LaTurner, Tracey Mann, Dan Meuser, Mary Miller, Max Miller, Zach Nunn, Derrick Van Orden, Ann Wagner
