The promise was framed as supporting the End EPA Abuse Act, not guaranteeing enactment. Clyde introduced H.R. 9453 in the House on June 25, 2026, and publicly announced the bill with provisions matching the promised Clean Air Act guardrails on vehicle restrictions, power-plant fuel switching, grid reliability, and infeasible technologies. Because sponsoring and introducing the named federal bill is direct fulfillment of a support pledge during his current House term, this counts as delivered even though the bill had not become law by the available record.
