Later that day, Van Duyne discussed energy infrastructure with leaders from Plains All American Pipeline. She mentioned: "I met with leaders of Plains All American Pipeline, a Texas-based company that provides extensive energy infrastructure to our state. We discussed opportunities to strengthen American energy independence through permitting and tax reform."

She highlighted: "I’m grateful to my colleagues in the Senate for passing the Stop Campus Hazing Act yesterday and look forward to @POTUS taking swift action to sign this important measure into law."
