Steve will continue to fight for a national energy strategy that enhances energy production, increases innovation, and reduces our dependence on foreign nations.
Fight for a national energy strategy that enhances energy production, increases innovation, and reduces dependence on foreign nations.

We, Republicans, lowered gas prices.
He is fighting to enact a national energy strategy that increases the supply of American energy through enhanced production and technological innovation to lower prices at the pump across the country and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
I'm proud to co-sponsor this legislation that reverses this radical, job-crushing unilateral action, and instead stands up for American jobs and energy security.
We can get smarter energy policy, surely than we have today. We had it under President Trump. Joe Biden shut off a lot of our ability to produce oil, natural gas, other things that now make us reliant on OPEC nations, on Russia, on Venezuela. No reason for that.

Assessments
Scalise made substantial same-term efforts toward the promised energy agenda: he sponsored the 2023 Lower Energy Costs Act, voted for its House passage, continued public advocacy, and voted for the enacted 2025 H.R. 1 that included domestic energy production, leasing, critical minerals, and energy-security provisions. However, the evidence does not show that Congress enacted Scalise's comprehensive national energy strategy as promised, and some pro-production policy came through broader reconciliation legislation and executive action not solely attributable to him. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
Scalise's official 2026 biography still says he is fighting to enact a national energy strategy, and his 2026 press releases continue to promote higher domestic energy production and reduced reliance on foreign energy. That supports real ongoing advocacy and some leadership effort, but it does not show that a national energy strategy was actually enacted or otherwise delivered at the federal level as of June 22, 2026. Because he remains in office and the promise is still being pursued rather than clearly completed or definitively failed, the strongest adjudication is unresolved.
Scalise materially pursued the promise: he introduced and led H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, which aimed to increase domestic energy production, expand exports and infrastructure, speed permitting, and reduce reliance on foreign energy and minerals. The bill passed the House in March 2023, but the available record does not show enactment into federal law or implementation of a national energy strategy delivering the promised outcome. Because this was a serious federal legislative attempt that fell short of final delivery, the correct outcome is never with an effort badge.
