Occurrences
...fighting for American energy against woke corporate activism... and that’s exactly what I’ll do for the people of West Virginia in Washington.
Evidence
Under the Energy section, Moore’s campaign says: 'I will stand up for our coal and gas industries in West Virginia, as I have as your State Treasurer.'
The official House site says Moore issued a statement after the EPA announced plans to scrap the Biden-era Clean Power Plan 2.0.
Moore’s office says his amendment to restore critical funding for the Appalachian Regional Commission was adopted by the House Appropriations Committee.
The bill text states that Rep. Rulli introduced H.R. 3015 'for himself and Mr. Moore of West Virginia' to 'reestablish the National Coal Council in the Department of Energy' and that the council would advise the Secretary of Energy on matters related to coal and the coal industry.
The Clerk’s roll call page shows H.R. 3015, the National Coal Council Reestablishment Act, passed the House on September 18, 2025, by a vote of 217-209.
Assessments
Moore made concrete same-term federal efforts aligned with the promise: he co-led H.R. 3015 to reestablish the National Coal Council, the bill passed the House, he secured committee adoption of an Appalachian Regional Commission funding amendment, and he publicly supported EPA rollback of a Biden-era power-plant rule. These actions show real advocacy for West Virginia coal and related communities. However, the central coal bill had not become law in the evidence provided, the ARC amendment was still within an appropriations process, and there is limited evidence of a completed, durable federal outcome directly benefiting coal, natural gas, or miners. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
Moore made concrete same-term efforts aligned with the promise: co-leading H.R. 3015 to reestablish the National Coal Council, helping it pass the House, supporting rollback of EPA power-plant regulations opposed by coal interests, and securing committee adoption of an Appalachian Regional Commission funding amendment. However, the core measurable federal legislative outcome has not been shown to become law, and the evidence demonstrates advocacy and House-side progress rather than full delivery for coal, gas, or miners. This is best scored as partial delivery with serious effort.
