Cuellar and Gonzales represent the Rio Grande Valley (geologically known as the Permian Basin edit: it isn't but RGV is a major oil and gas terminal [https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/13/texas-brownsville-ln... and https://www.bluewingmidstream.com/terminals]), a major oil production region (edit: natural gas, not oil. It is a primary oil transport hub though because of the Port of Brownsville) .

Peltota represents Alaska at large, another major oil hub, and her tribe's Alaskan Native Corporation (Calista Corporation) has the oil drilling rights to the North Slope oil fields. On a separate note I had a buddy who used to lobby for ANCSAs before becoming a Pharma lobbyist. Good guy, and ANSCAs would actually be a better operating model for the lower 48 instead of the current tribal sovereignity one.

Don Davis's constituency in South Carolina hosts Volkswagen, Honda, etc's entire US manufacturing supply chain.

I can't think of a reason for Jared Golden to vote against this. ME-2 doesn't have a significant oil or automotive economy

Edit: Forgot Jared Golden is on the Small Business Committee - Car Dealerships tend to be the largest small businesses in constituencies.

EV manufacturers should (and most likely are) try to expand manufacturing in Ohio, South Carolina, and Indiana to better lobby in their favor.

Tesla clearly did a bit of this by expanding operations in NV and TX.
