Rep. James Issues Statement Following Biden Administration Regulations on Tailpipe Emissions

Washington, D.C., March 20, 2024 | Noah Sadlier (202-225-4961)

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative John James (MI-10) released the following statement after the Biden Administration announced its plan to gut the American automotive industry with its new tailpipe emissions standards.

Rep. James said:

“I know the automotive industry intimately, having run a automotive supply chain company for years. Today's news from the Biden Administration's EPA will do more harm to the automotive industry, Michigan's middle-class, and the entire nation's economy than many realize. This EPA rule is a de-facto mandate against gas-powered cars, and will boost China's middle-class on the backs of our own middle-class in Michigan.”

Given Rep. James' expert understanding and background in the automotive industry, he plans to lead a Congressional Review Act (CRA) on this new EPA rule in the near future.
