Perez Propane Hosts Rep. Tony Gonzalez

On August 28, 2024, Perez Propane hosted Rep. Tony Gonzalez (TX-23) at their Tornillo, TX facility. The Congressman is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and sits on the House Homeland Security Committee. Perez Propane employees highlighted the versatility of propane and its importance in rural communities due to its reliability, resilience, and environmentally-friendly attributes. Perez Propane’s Elizabeth Perez discussed how their community uses propane to power different sectors of the economy, such as agriculture and provides critical energy so businesses, both big and small, can thrive. Perez Propane employees also talked to Rep. Gonzalez about autogas, propane school buses, and renewable propane.  Facility staff thanked the Congressman for supporting the Energy Choice Act and asked him to cosponsor the STORAGE Act and support NPGA’s appropriations requests, including additional research and development of renewable propane.
