Campaign positions

What each campaign says.

Evidence timeline

Where statements meet the record.

  1. Occurred Jan 16, 2026

    official action

    John Braun: Matches stated direction

    His campaign says he will champion market-based energy production, including hydropower, solar, oil, natural gas and nuclear power. He is the prime sponsor of Senate Bill 5821, filed for Washington's 2026 session. It would have the state Commerce Department, if it gets outside funding, write a nuclear power plan for the state energy strategy by December 15, 2026. It had a committee hearing on January 16, 2026, and its history shows no later action. Limit: This card covers nuclear power only; his record on the other four sources he names was not searched. The bill never reached a vote.

  2. Occurred Jul 21, 2025

    official action

    Marie Gluesenkamp Perez: Matches stated direction

    Her campaign says she has championed tax rebates for energy efficiency upgrades for working families, such as weather skirting for mobile homes. On October 4, 2024 she introduced the Lowering Energy Costs for Manufactured Homeowners Act (H.R. 9935). It would give a refundable tax credit of 20 percent of the cost of adding weather-resistant skirting to a manufactured home, up to $500. It was sent to the Ways and Means Committee and went no further. In July 2025 the House Appropriations Committee's report on the 2026 energy and water bill encouraged the Energy Department to favor skirting and awnings in its weatherization grants. Her office called that her provision in February 2026. Limit: Her record shows one skirting bill, and it never left committee. The report language asks the Energy Department to favor skirting in its grants; it is not a tax rebate.
