U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer spoke at the 23rd Annual Energy Infrastructure CEO & Investor Conference in Miami, welcoming executives on May 20 alongside Theodore Roosevelt IV and discussing energy infrastructure needs.
The event brought together hundreds of industry leaders to discuss challenges facing energy infrastructure, including regulatory certainty and capital formation. These topics are important as they affect the ability to meet rising energy demand across the country.
Before the conference began, Cramer joined Ashley Mastronardi from the New York Stock Exchange for an interview focused on how meeting energy needs requires capital investment supported by clear regulations. He opened the conference with Roosevelt IV, highlighting the upcoming opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota. The library will honor President Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy of conservation, leadership, and citizenship. “It was an honor to join Ted Roosevelt on stage to invite everyone to ND to visit the library and feel the presence of our 26th President!” Cramer said.
The following day, Cramer delivered keynote remarks and took part in a panel discussion with financial executives from Barclays, PNC Bank, and Latham & Watkins. He highlighted his support for permitting reform as a way to enable needed infrastructure projects that can help address growing energy demands. During his remarks he said: “I was honored to keynote & participate in a panel with Ted Roosevelt of Barclays, Mark Widman of PNC Bank, Timm Fenn of Latham & Watkins at the EIC CEO & Investor Conference,” adding that “Permitting reform and capital formation were front and center.”
Cramer assists North Dakotans with federal agencies to resolve issues and provide information; he also served three terms as North Dakota’s at-large representative in Congress before joining the Senate; grew up in Kindred; earned degrees from Concordia College and University of Mary; serves on several Senate committees including Environment and Public Works—all according to the official website.
Looking ahead, participants emphasized bipartisan cooperation as essential for achieving reforms that will support both investment certainty for companies and broader national goals.
