Energy Secretary Chris Wright arrived at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo without a hat on Monday evening.

“I tried to get my boots, hat and jacket sent out from D.C., and we set it for one day delivery, four days beforehand, but it didn’t arrive,” Wright lamented to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Wright made his way to the rodeo after an action-packed day one at the CERAWeek energy conference, where he delivered a punchy keynote speech laying out the Trump administration’s approach to energy policy and otherwise kept busy with meetings through the day. Wright attended the rodeo to demonstrate to everyday Americans that they are his priority as he pursues the energy dominance agenda alongside President Donald Trump, he explained to the DCNF.

“Look, rodeos are central to rural American culture. The center of the country, not our coastal culture,” Wright told the DCNF. “And this is the prime constituency of the president. This is the crowd I think is most anxious to see common sense return to government in the United States.”
