Matches stated direction

What they say

His campaign says he has supported policies to expand American energy production.

“Bill has supported policies to expand American energy production and reduce dependence on foreign sources”

What the record shows ·

He voted for the Lower Energy Costs Act (H.R. 1) on March 30, 2023. It passed the House 225-204 and the Senate did not take it up. A revised version of its permitting section, the BUILDER Act, became law in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, which he voted for (roll 243, 314-117); that law also sped up the Mountain Valley gas pipeline. He also voted for the 2025 law (Public Law 119-21) that orders new oil, gas and coal lease sales.

Limit: Three floor votes, two of them on laws. The campaign's further claim that his policies brought down energy prices was not tested; no record ties prices to his votes.
