Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term A for effort

The promise was to oppose rescission of BLM's 2024 Onshore Leasing Rule and support retaining the listed protections. During his current Senate term, Lujan signed a congressional letter directly opposing the proposed rescission and defending the specific protections named in the claim, including bonding, public participation, Tribal consultation, landowner involvement, and leasing preference criteria. He also introduced related legislation on public, State, Tribal, and local involvement in oil and gas leasing. Because the promised action was opposition/support rather than final enactment of a statutory outcome, this counts as delivered in the same term.
