Hi everyone, I apologize for my delayed response- today was a doozy!
Thank you so much for your willingness to work with us to set up a time for the Senator and the Administrator to visit Midland.
I'd love to hop on the phone. What time works best for y'all?

Hi Victoria and Carl,
Apologies for being a squeaky wheel, but the Administrator would like me to follow up and ask if we can get something on the books then? If you could let me know by COB today--we'd appreciate it!
He will be in Oklahoma the day before, and is excited about the possibility of visiting Texas 0

Thank you, that would be much appreciated! The Administrator said he had spoke with Senator Cruz about touring the abundant natural resources and industries there, as a part of the "Powering the Great American Comeback."

Hi Jaide,
Thanks for reaching out. I'm adding Carl, my counterpart in the state.
We have a conflict on the 26th but could possibly explore the day prior. Do you have a program in mind or policies you're highlighting?
Best, Victoria

Good afternoon,
I am reaching out on behalf of Administrator Zeldin, who was planning on visiting our regional team in Texas later this month. The Administrator informed me of a conversation he had with the Senator about committing to visit Midland, and he was wondering if the Senator would be able to coordinate something on 04/26? Nothing is set in stone, as this is a very fluid situation, but the Administrator would like to make it happen if possible.
Thank you so much for your time,
Jaide Barja Senior Advisor
