Evidence

Lawler wrote that Albany Democrats' 'green' policies and 'energy mandates' are 'devastating,' said he has 'consistently advocated for an all-of-the-above energy policy,' and stated that he opposed the CLCPA and the closure of Indian Point.

Directly supports the claim: Lawler publicly opposes state energy mandates and favors an all-of-the-above approach instead of top-down transition requirements.

At Indian Point, Lawler said, 'You cannot shut down nuclear plants, block natural gas pipelines, and impose costly mandates,' and called for an all-of-the-above energy strategy including nuclear, pipelines, and other reliable supply.

This is a fresh official statement against costly energy mandates and forced transition-style policies, reinforcing the same stance in the current term.

Lawler is an active federal officeholder, and the promise is framed as an opposition/position commitment rather than a requirement to enact a specific federal statute. The evidence shows that during the same term he publicly and repeatedly opposed top-down energy mandates, all-electric or transition-style requirements, and related state climate policies, while advocating an all-of-the-above energy approach. That satisfies the promised conduct in the relevant office context.
