Resume domestic energy production and restore American energy independence.
Occurrences
a bill to strengthen America’s energy independence and national security
Evidence
I am committed to fighting the Biden Administration’s failed energy policies in Congress. We must resume domestic energy production and restore American energy independence.
Today, Congressman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY-02) joined Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (R-VA-02) to introduced the Certainty for Our Energy Future Act, a bill to strengthen America’s energy independence and national security.
Additionally, the Consolidated Appropriations Act empowers domestic energy production to reduce our reliance on foreign fuel and addresses the issue of China and other foreign adversaries buying up U.S. agricultural land.
Next year’s Republican majority is going to get our country back on track by curbing inflation, revitalizing domestic energy production to bring down gas prices, and improving public safety by empowering law enforcement to address rising crime and secure our border. That is our commitment to America and that is my commitment to the people of Long Island.
The official House press releases page for Garbarino shows recent items in the lookback window dated May 20, 2026, June 1, 2026, and June 5, 2026, covering a 9/11 commemorative coin act, a community flood resilience bill, and Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day, with no energy-production or energy-independence accomplishment posted there.
Assessments
Garbarino plainly made this promise and took meaningful congressional action consistent with it, including co-introducing the Certainty for Our Energy Future Act in May 2025 and supporting legislation he said would bolster domestic energy production. But the record provided does not show that his efforts produced the promised end result of restored American energy independence or a completed policy change achieving that outcome. Under the rule for serious legislative effort without actual delivery, this is best scored as a failed promise with effort credit rather than delivered or partial completion.
Garbarino made the promise to resume domestic energy production and restore American energy independence, and the evidence shows concrete same-term legislative/support actions, including co-introducing the Certainty for Our Energy Future Act and voting for appropriations language he described as empowering domestic energy production. However, the evidence does not show that the promised outcome was actually achieved at a national level. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but no demonstrated delivery of the promised result, this is best classified as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
