July 17, 2024 Pfluger introduces Bill to End Over Regulation
Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) unveiled groundbreaking legislation aimed at restoring accountability and transparency to federal regulatory processes. Titled the Returning the Power to the People Act of 2024, this comprehensive bill comes after the landmark Supreme Court decision on Chevron deference and marks a decisive step towards curtailing the expansive reach of federal agencies and reasserting Congress's role in legislative interpretation.
Addressing the need for immediate action, Rep. Pfluger stated, 'Unelected bureaucrats have exploited the Chevron deference doctrine to impose onerous regulations that hinder American businesses and stifle economic growth. Overruling Chevron is crucial for the Permian Basin and beyond. My legislation provides clarity while we unravel the multitude of regulations built upon this flawed principle. It's time to rein in the federal regulatory state.'
Rep. Pfluger's legislation represents a pivotal effort to restore congressional oversight and rein in the unchecked growth of federal bureaucracy. By overturning Chevron deference and promoting clarity and fairness in regulatory practices, the Returning the Power to the People Act of 2024 aims to empower American businesses and uphold the rule of law.

July 21, 2024 Pfluger Statement on President Biden Dropping Out from Presidential Race
Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released the following statement after President Joe Biden announced he would be dropping out from the 2024 presidential election:
"For the last several years Democrats have perpetrated a fraud against the American people. We were called liars and exaggerators and accused of producing “cheap fakes” when we questioned the mental fitness of the Commander-in-Chief. We have been vindicated. Complicit in this fraud are Congressional Democrats and party leaders who are now discarding the 14 million votes in this year’s Democratic primaries. If President Biden is not fit to run for President, he cannot be President. He should resign immediately, if he does not, every Democrat must call for his resignation. Vice President Harris owns all of the Biden-Harris policy failures and she now must be asked “What did she know and when did she know it?"
