Sign Our Letter to Senator Armstrong
In March 2026, Alan Armstrong, former CEO of Williams, was appointed a U.S. Senator for Oklahoma. Sen. Armstrong brings more than three decades of leadership experience within the state's robust energy industry. During his time leading Williams, he helped drive the success of critical infrastructure projects that put our members to work, including the Northeast Supply Enhancement expansion, and he has been a key supportive voice in the revived Constitution Pipeline effort.
Sign our letter congratulating Sen. Armstrong on this appointment. We are ready to work with his colleagues to secure good jobs, build safe pipeline infrastructure and secure access to domestically sourced energy.
Attn. Senator Alan Armstrong
G12 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510Dear Senator Armstrong,
On behalf of the United Association’s Local 798 Pipeliners, we extend our sincere congratulations on your appointment to the United States Senate. This is a well-deserved recognition of your leadership, industry expertise and longstanding commitment to strengthening America’s energy infrastructure.
Throughout your distinguished career, including your leadership at Williams, you have demonstrated a deep understanding of the critical role that natural gas and pipeline infrastructure play in powering our nation’s economy. Your work advancing reliable, safe and efficient energy delivery systems has helped ensure that American families and businesses have access to affordable energy, while also supporting job creation across the country.
Your leadership within the energy sector has consistently reflected a balanced approach — recognizing both the importance of economic growth and the need for responsible development. As strong advocates for infrastructure investment, regulatory clarity and workforce development, we appreciate how you have helped elevate the conversation around maintaining U.S. energy leadership in an increasingly complex global landscape.
For the hardworking men and women of Local 798, your commitment to the pipeline industry and the skilled trades is especially meaningful. Our members take great pride in building and maintaining the infrastructure that keeps America running, and we value leaders who understand the importance of our work and the communities we support.
We are confident that your experience, insight and steady leadership will serve the people of Oklahoma — and the nation — well in the Senate.

Sign Our Petition
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is requesting comments on the scope of issues and environmental impacts for the proposed DeLa Express Project. The project is a multi-billion dollar investment that includes a nearly 700-mile long pipeline running from the Delaware side of the Permian Basin to Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, as well as eight compressor stations.
We submitted the below comment with nearly 900 signatures to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) before the comment period ended on September 23, 2024. Any signatures collected after this time may be included in future submissions.
Secretary Debbie-Anne A. Reese
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First Street, NW
Washington, DC 20426Docket No. PF24-4-000; Scoping Period Comments on Environmental Issues for the Planned DeLa Express Project.
Dear Secretary:
I stand with Pipeliners Local 798 in wanting to support the DeLa Express Project, a potentially impactful investment in our southern natural gas infrastructure network. My support is contingent on project developers demonstrating a commitment to building and operating this pipeline and associated compressor stations in such a way that respects landowners’ rights, supports good jobs for the area Union workforce and flows positive economic activity through local communities.
This project is anticipated to create more than 5,300 good-paying jobs - including approximately 380 full-time jobs - and generate significant revenue for area business and services. Once placed into service, the system will help address the pipeline constraints that currently hamper the region. All this is good reason to be excited about DeLa Express. But the support from Pipeliners Local 798 does not come blindly. This Local represents the nation's most highly-trained, dedicated and experienced craftsmen, and their members expect project developers operate with the same integrity and commitment that they do.
I am proud to share my name as a supporter of the DeLa Express Project if the following commitments are fulfilled:
- Work with landowners to ensure their property is respected. The company has already begun this process through comprehensive analysis of strategies to avoid sensitive environmental resources and otherwise congested areas by conducting desktop analysis and deploying field surveys. It is also promising to know that approximately 84% of the pipeline route is collated with or parallel to existing utility rights-of-way.
- Ensure that project benefits - including job opportunities, tax revenue and associated activity - are distributed as much as possible to local economies. I understand that the gas that travels through this pipeline will be exported to overseas markets, which means the regional project benefits are limited to economic. This still has the potential of being incredibly powerful, considering approximately 5,300 jobs are expected and significant tax revenue will come. I especially hope developers take this opportunity to invest in the local workforce so these aren't simply short-lived jobs for a handful of local craftsmen and mostly outsourced workers. Those who live and work in their own community are more prone to give back, to invest and to support small businesses in that community.
- Provide opportunities for full-time, long-term employment for local craftsmen. Speaking again to the point directly above, the men and women in Local 798, in particular, depend on this sort of project work to provide for their families and plan for their own self-sufficient retirement rather than depend on tax-funded social programs. High quality work comes with a cost, but that is a worthy investment to ensure DeLa Express is built and operated in the safest and more efficient manner possible.
The DeLa Express Project represents a multi-billion dollar investment into our nation's energy infrastructure network, with the potential of providing long-term tax revenue and good jobs that benefit American workers and their families. In order to optimize these benefits, it's important that project developers commit to the goals discussed above that prioritize landowner rights, economic prosperity in local communities and job security for the skilled tradesmen.

Kevin Gregory signed Summit Midwest Carbon Express Petition 2025 via Preston Ri'chard 2025-02-11 20:47:05 -0600
Sign Our Comment to Decision Makers
In late 2024, Minnesota and North Dakota granted permits for Summit Carbon Solutions’ Midwest Carbon Express project, a proposed multibillion-dollar carbon capture and storage (CCS) pipeline that is expected to support more than 12,000 construction jobs, many going to Local 798 members.
More than 2,000 advocates signed our petition to support this project during a previous comment period. Stand up with us again! Sign our petition below that we will submit to regulators and other decision makers to show support as it continues to move through the permitting process.
Dear Official:
Please accept this comment in support of Summit Carbon Solutions' Midwest Carbon Express project, a multi-billion-dollar investment in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska.
Once in service, this project will provide much-needed economic relief across smaller and rural communities in the Midwest. This is poised to create good jobs for the local workforce, generate critical tax revenue and increase access to reliable energy. The construction phase alone is expected to create more than 12,000 jobs, a number of which should go to the dedicated members of Local 798 who depend on infrastructure projects to provide for their families.
More reasons why I support the Midwest Carbon Express Project are outlined below:
- Summit Carbon Solutions is partnering with ethanol plants across the Midwest to create new revenue streams for this industry, which currently supports 360,000 jobs and annually contributes $45 billion to the U.S. GDP;
- Project leadership has clear plans to partner with local businesses and stakeholders during the construction and operational phase of the project, ensuring it provides a meaningful, ongoing economic boost to communities across the Midwest;
- Summit Carbon Solutions has outlined steps to prioritize project safety, including only utilizing highly rated materials such as American-made high strength carbon steel, as well as maintaining an operations center in Ames that will monitor the system 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Approving this project is just one step we can today to help solve the dual challenge of rebuilding our economy and addressing the urgent threat of greenhouse gas emissions. This is why I urge decision makers to join me in issue necessary approvals for Midwest Carbon Express.
Signed,

Sign Our Comment
Over the course of two weeks in September 2025, we prepared submissions - with more than 2,300 comments - to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and Iowa Utilities Board (IUB), as they accepted public comments on permits for the Mt. Simon Hub project, a pipeline proposed by Wolf Carbon Solutions and Archer Daniels Midland Company that will stretch from eastern Iowa into Illinois. Specifically, the project is seeking from the Illinois Commerce Commission a "Certificate of Authority to Construct and Operate a Carbon Dioxide Pipeline and when Necessary to take Interests in Property as Provided by the Law of Eminent Domain"; and from the Iowa Utilities Board a Hazardous Liquid Pipeline permit.
Thank you to all who signed our comment for submission! If you signed after September 21, we may include your name in future submissions to state and federal regulators to support this project.
Dear Secretary:
On behalf of United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada (UA) and our more than 300,000 members, I want to express our continued support for the Mt. Simon Hub and encourage a thorough review and timely approval of this important project. We believe that Wolf Carbon Solutions’ Mt. Simon Hub will be integral to job creation, environmental improvement and long-term economic growth of our region.
As a proud UA member, I am excited at the prospect of playing a central role in making this project a reality. With the potential to create more than 2,700 construction jobs, generate over $478 million in wages and salaries and to contribute upwards of $75 million in state and local taxes for our state, the Mt. Simon Hub presents an extraordinary economic opportunity both for our union members and Illinois and Iowa overall.
The hardworking men and women of the UA will bring their extensive construction experience to bear to ensure that the Mt. Simon Hub is built to rigorous specifications and in compliance with strict federal and state standards. At the UA, we adhere to our Standard of Excellence in every project we work on. This Standard is made up of three pillars: safety, quality and productivity, each of which are essential to making our laborers the best-trained and highly-skilled in the world. Furthermore, we boast a five-year apprenticeship program that was the first nationally registered program recognized by the Department of Labor in the United States.
With the possibility of major economic and environmental benefits, my fellow union members and I are excited by the opportunity that the Mt. Simon Hub presents, and we urge you to approve Wolf Carbon Solutions’ application. Thank you for your consideration.
Signed,
