Blossman Gas in Prattville, Alabama, welcomed Congressman Gary Palmer (pictured above with company employees) for a facility visit on April 7, 2026. The visit provided the opportunity to highlight the vital role propane plays in communities across Alabama’s Sixth Congressional District.
Matthew Fain and the Blossman Gas team explained to Congressman Palmer how propane powers homes, farms, and businesses and provides reliable, clean energy that supports the local economy. Rep. Palmer was shown features of the Prattville facility. At the same time, other members of the Blossman Gas team discussed how propane is transported from production facilities to customers via terminals, transportation, and supply logistics. Congressman Palmer also inspected a bobtail with Blossman Gas employees.
As a member of the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, Congressman Palmer listened as Mr. Fain explained the benefits of the Energy Choice Act. This important bill protects customers’ rights to access the energy products of their own choosing, regardless of where they live. Mr. Fain also used the visit to highlight key industry priorities and asked the Congressman to support the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps income-eligible families afford their energy bills.
Visits like this are a great way to connect with lawmakers and share the value propane brings to our communities. If your company would like to host a facility tour, NPGA is here to help! Reach out to Eric Sears, Senior Manager of State Association Relations, to get started.
