Under “Lower Energy Costs and End New York’s Energy Crisis,” the campaign site says Mike Lawler is “supporting an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes natural gas, nuclear, and renewables” and is “fighting to expand natural gas infrastructure to keep home heating bills affordable.”

This is the clearest statement of the campaign promise: expand natural gas infrastructure to lower heating bills.

Lawler said, “I’m calling for the rebuilding and reopening of Indian Point Energy Center and for an all-of-the-above energy strategy. That means supporting nuclear energy, approving critical infrastructure like natural gas pipelines...”

As of March 6, 2026, Lawler was still calling for pipeline approval rather than pointing to completed natural gas infrastructure expansion.

The press release says the FREEDOM Act “expedites judicial review, creates new protections for fully-permitted projects, establishes enforceable deadlines” and that Lawler said the bill “cuts through regulatory delays that have stalled vital energy projects across the country.”

Lawler introduced concrete permitting legislation that could help future energy infrastructure projects, but it is not itself completed natural gas infrastructure expansion.

Congress.gov shows H.R.4395, the Natural Gas Appliances Standards Act of 2023, was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce; the bill text would limit DOE rules affecting gas appliances such as furnaces and water heaters.

Lawler-related natural gas legislation existed in Congress, but this bill was about appliance standards, not expanding infrastructure, and it did not become law.
