I support an all-of-the-above energy policy that will enable us to safely tap our energy potential and lessen our dependence on foreign oil. In fact, it should be our goal to be the number one exporter of oil and natural gas.
Support an all-of-the-above energy policy and aim for the United States to become the number one exporter of oil and natural gas.

I support an “all of the above” approach to energy production and usage in this country. I will continuously advocate and vote to increase domestic production so we have affordable energy that is produced in America, so we are not reliant upon others. That’s why I’m a member of the House Energy Action Team (HEAT). Every natural resource we have should be on the table.

The pro-growth tax, regulatory, and energy policies we have put in place have lowered gas prices and stabilized the cost of living ... I look forward to continuing to deliver on President Trump’s promises to restore American greatness.

The House Clerk recorded H.R. 1949, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act, as passed 217-188 on Nov. 20, 2025; Rouzer, Republican of North Carolina, voted Yea.
Assessments
Rouzer has consistently supported an all-of-the-above federal energy policy and took official action aligned with the export goal, including voting for House-passed LNG export legislation in 2025. Federal energy data also show strong LNG export growth during his ongoing House service. However, the evidence does not establish that the United States became the number one exporter of both oil and natural gas, especially on the oil side, so the full promised outcome was not delivered.
Rouzer has consistently supported the promised all-of-the-above energy policy and increased domestic production in his federal office role, including public advocacy and alignment with House energy policy efforts. The national export outcome is only partly met: the United States became and remained the world's largest LNG exporter and reached record natural gas and petroleum product exports, but the evidence does not show that the United States became the overall number one exporter of both oil and natural gas, and it remained a net crude oil importer in 2024. Because the candidate's promise included an advocacy/policy-position component that he has pursued, but the full export benchmark is not clearly achieved or attributable to him, partial credit is appropriate.
