OCTOBER 20-21, 2025 | WASHINGTON, D.C.
BE IN THE ROOM WHERE CHANGE HAPPENS.
California's fuel supply is at a crossroads. With refinery closures, declining in-state oil production, and skyrocketing fuel imports, our state faces rising prices, growing supply risks, and mounting pressure on working families and businesses. As regulatory mandates tighten and infrastructure weakens, the future of California's energy stability - and our economy is on the line.
Join us at the CA/DC Energy Summit to stand with industry leaders, business owners, and advocates working to protect jobs, fuel access, and economic resilience. Learn from those on the front lines of California's energy challenges, strengthen your industry's voice, and help shape real solutions before the next crisis hits.

Vince is a lifelong resident of Kern County. He earned a bachelor’s degree from UCLA and a master’s degree from Princeton University.
In 2016, Vince was elected to the California State Assembly, where he served until earlier this year. In Sacramento, Vince helped to lead the conversation on energy independence in California, improving our transportation, infrastructure, and supply chains, and enhance job opportunities for local residents.
In Congress, Vince was appointed to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. He will work on both committees to help advance further infrastructure investments in our region, especially to help strengthen the critical supply chain in the Central Valley - the breadbasket of America - that our farmers, ranchers, and local small businesses and workers rely on.

NATIONAL SECURITY RECEPTION SPEAKER
Congressman Kevin Kiley proudly serves the people of California’s 3rd District. Kevin holds a bachelor’s degree from Harvard, a law degree from Yale, and a master’s in secondary education from Loyola Marymount. He is dedicated to using his position to promote fiscally sound policies to reduce inflation, increase choice in education, and responsibly manage our public lands to preserve our beautiful forests and prevent catastrophic wildfires.
A tireless advocate for his district, Kiley has supported over 25 projects worth over $70 million in federal grants to reduce traffic congestion, improve public safety, expand access to water resources, and protect our communities from fire. Since Kiley was sworn in, the Third Congressional District has received $200 million in federal grants. Beyond his support for programs and grants to benefit the district, Kiley has made constituent services a priority. Kevin and his team have closed over 2,300 constituent cases, each one representing a family or individual who needed help with a federal agency, and have returned over $7 million to those constituents.

Overburdensome Air and Energy Rules
California's overlapping air and energy regulations-from local mandates to broad state-level rules-have created a complex and costly compliance landscape. Policies from state and local authorities continue to add pressure on fuel providers, fleets, and industries across the state.
Supply and Demand Disruptions
Restrictions on in-state oil production and federal maritime laws like the Jones Act limit supply flexibility and drive-up transportation costs. These barriers increase California's dependence on imports, raising the risk of an energy crisis by exposing the state to volatile global price swings and potential fuel shortages.
Cost Pressures on Working Families and Businesses
Rising regulatory costs, supply shortages, and ill-conceived energy mandates are driving fuel prices through the roof, making everyday goods more expensive and deepening economic uncertainty. These crushing burdens fall hardest on hardworking families, small businesses, and job creators-compromising affordability, jeopardizing their ability to make ends meet, and threatening the very fabric of California's economy.
