March 17-19, 2026 | WASHINGTON D.C.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO JOINED
Lawmaker Education and Advocacy Days
This year, business leaders took to Capitol Hill with a shared message for Congress: smart, bipartisan policy can lower energy costs, strengthen American manufacturing, and position the U.S. to lead in the industries shaping the 21st Century economy. In dozens of meetings with Congressional offices on both sides of the aisle, representatives from some of America’s largest and most recognizable corporations made the convincing economic case for pragmatic, market-oriented solutions that prioritize affordability and policy certainty.
LEAD 2026 Highlights
|
“We are at an inflection point in America’s energy transformation.
Energy demand is on the rise, and while existing policies have effectively
helped us maintain economic competitiveness,
there’s still more to be done
to drive growth,
increase supply, and improve affordability
.”

At a time when the federal government is stepping away from policies to modernize the economy and drive clean energy growth, LEAD on a Clean Economy 2026 offered a critical opportunity to make the business case directly to congressional offices and the Trump administration.
Thank you to all participants and partners who joined us this year to push for the strong policy environment needed to meet rising energy demand while addressing affordability, boost American manufacturing, strengthen rural communities, and ensure U.S. leadership in the global industries of the 21st century.
