Evidence

Congress.gov shows H.R.2454 passed the House on June 26, 2009, 219-212, and included a provision requiring the Federal Trade Commission to complete a rulemaking on ENERGY GUIDE labels for products incorporating Smart Grid technology.

Lujan supported a major energy-pricing/transparency-related bill in his first House term, but the FTC provision was about Energy Guide labeling and smart-grid information, not direct FTC action on high gas prices.

The Clerk records Roll Call 477 on H.R.2454 as passed, 219-212. The member vote list records Lujan, Democratic, New Mexico, voting Aye.

Official roll-call data confirms Lujan voted for H.R.2454, supporting related energy-market transparency legislation during the relevant House term.

Congress.gov lists Sen. Ben Ray Lujan as sponsor of S.3892, a bill to prohibit retail food stores from price gouging and surveillance-based price setting; latest action was referral to Senate Commerce on February 12, 2026.

This is a later-term Lujan-sponsored FTC/consumer-pricing-adjacent effort, but it concerns retail food pricing rather than gas or energy prices and had not advanced beyond introduction as of the refresh date.

Congress.gov shows H.R.6074, the Gas Price Relief for Consumers Act of 2008, passed the House before Lujan entered Congress and was placed on the Senate calendar. The summary addressed oil, natural gas, petroleum-product price restraints and a DOJ petroleum antitrust task force.

This demonstrates the kind of gas-price legislation available before Lujan's federal service, but it predates his House term and cannot count as his delivery.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Lujan did support related federal energy-market transparency legislation during his first House term by voting for H.R.2454 in 2009, which passed the House and included an FTC Energy Guide/Smart Grid labeling rulemaking provision. However, that provision did not require the FTC to act on high gas prices or broadly police unfair gas and energy pricing, and the later Lujan-sponsored S.3892 concerned retail food pricing rather than gas or energy. The record shows meaningful related effort, but not full delivery of the specific promised FTC action on high gas and energy prices.
