EPA announced a temporary emergency fuel waiver that keeps E15 on the market beginning May 1, 2026 and removes federal enforcement of state boutique fuel requirements, increasing fuel supply and consumer choice. The notice says the action gives Americans more fuel options and a bigger domestic market for farmers and biofuels producers.

Fedorchak said the Trump administration would temporarily allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported without the higher out-of-quota tariff. She argued the move undercuts North Dakota ranchers, said she was in direct contact with USDA, and requested an update on meatpacking-industry investigations.
Assessments
Fedorchak materially advanced the promise during her current House term: she sponsored H.J.Res.105, which became Public Law 119-49 and addressed North Dakota energy development and land-use policy; helped pass House measures on year-round E15, farm policy, trust lands, and cross-border energy infrastructure; and advocated for biofuels and ranchers. But the promise is broad, covering both national energy and agriculture industries, and several major pieces remained unfinished or temporary, including House-only bills and a temporary EPA E15 waiver. The record shows meaningful same-term delivery and effort, but not full fulfillment of the broad pledge.
Fedorchak made substantial same-term progress on the promise, including sponsoring H.J.Res.105, which became Public Law 119-49 and directly advanced North Dakota energy development and land-use flexibility. She also helped move pro-energy and pro-agriculture measures through the House, including year-round E15 legislation, a farm bill, trust lands legislation, and cross-border energy infrastructure legislation. However, most of the broader agriculture and energy agenda remained incomplete or only passed one chamber, and the promise to broadly 'unleash' both industries is too expansive to treat as fully delivered based on one enacted energy-related measure and several unfinished actions. This warrants partial credit with an effort badge.
Fedorchak made energy and agriculture a clear governing priority and delivered at least one concrete same-term result: she sponsored H.J.Res.105, which became Public Law No. 119-49 in December 2025 and addressed North Dakota energy development and land-use flexibility. She also introduced or supported additional energy and biofuels measures, including year-round E15 and cross-border energy infrastructure, but key parts remained unfinished or only passed one chamber. Because the promise was broad and covered both energy and agriculture, the record supports meaningful partial delivery rather than full fulfillment.
