Evidence
Our nation’s energy strategy must embrace domestic production and use emerging technologies that spark innovation... That’s why my House Republican colleagues and I worked... by passing H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. This critical bill cuts burdensome red tape, fast-tracks domestic energy production... It also expedites construction of critical energy infrastructure projects and ensures critical minerals needed for emerging technologies are mined here in America... During the 118th Congress, I also voted for H.R. 21, the Strategic Production Response Act... Achieving true energy independence again is critical... unleash domestic production.
Roll Call 182 on passage of H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, passed 225-204. The roll call lists Loudermilk (GA) as voting Yea.
Roll Call 93 on passage of H.R. 21, the Strategic Production Response Act, passed 221-205. The roll call lists Loudermilk (GA) as voting Yea.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after he was named an 'American Energy Champion' for his voting record of 100% during the 117th Congress by the American Energy Alliance... Scores were based on votes and co-sponsorships, during the 117th Congress, of legislation that affects energy and environmental policy.
Assessments
The promise was to support an energy strategy centered on domestic production and emerging technologies, not necessarily to enact a final statute. Loudermilk continued in the same federal office after the 2018 campaign and later voted for House legislation aligned with that position, including H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, and H.R. 21, the Strategic Production Response Act. His official House energy page also ties those votes to domestic production, critical minerals, infrastructure, and emerging technologies. Because the documented fulfillment occurred after the 2019-2021 term tied to the 2018 election cycle, timing is later_term.
