"As a Congressman, I will be an advocate for strong posture with Russia, and every other major oil producing nation across the globe. American oil and gas interests must win… in every negotiation, every time. Period."

Campaign material states the promise directly and frames Russia and major oil producers as a foreign-policy and energy issue.

The House passed H.R. 6968, the Suspending Energy Imports from Russia Act. The roll call shows 414 yeas and 17 nays.

Higgins publicly backed the Russian oil import ban effort and the House passed the bill, showing concrete action aligned with the promise's anti-Russia, pro-energy posture.

Higgins said he "fully support[s] the import ban on Russian energy products" but voted against H.R. 6968 because "the House bill is far too weak" and "allows Russian oil and gas imports to continue for another 45 days."

This is direct official evidence that Higgins advocated a tougher Russia posture and took a legislative position, but his objection was about the bill being insufficient rather than opposition to sanctions.

The House vote was on agreeing to H. Res. 149, "Condemning the illegal abduction of children from Ukraine to the Russian Federation." The measure passed 390 to 9.

Higgins was among the small group of Republicans who voted no on a resolution condemning Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children, which cuts against a consistently strong posture toward Russia.
