Moore’s office says his amendment to restore critical funding for the Appalachian Regional Commission was adopted by the House Appropriations Committee.

This is a concrete legislative action benefiting Appalachia, where many coal communities and miners live, showing active effort to support the region tied to the promise.

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.

Moore co-led formal legislation aimed directly at helping the coal industry, which is strong evidence of concrete follow-through on the promise.

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.

Moore’s coal-industry bill advanced through the House, but the page does not show it becoming law, so the effort was real but incomplete.

Moore's office said DOE selected TerraSpark Energy Campus for a new coal-fired power plant in West Virginia's 2nd District, projecting nearly 1,000 jobs and describing the project as a major coal-industry win.

This is fresh same-term official support for coal in WV-2, but it is an endorsement of a project rather than a completed durable policy outcome, so it counts as concrete effort, not full delivery.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 3015 passed the House on 2025-09-18 by 217-209, and the latest action was Senate receipt and referral on 2025-09-19; the coal-council bill advanced but did not become law.

This is a concrete legislative push to help the coal industry, but the measure remained unfinished at the latest official action, so it supports only partial fulfillment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Moore made concrete same-term efforts aligned with the promise, including co-leading H.R. 3015 to reestablish the National Coal Council, backing EPA rollback efforts, and advancing an Appalachia funding amendment. However, the strongest coal-specific legislative item only passed the House and did not become law, so the promise was meaningfully pursued but not fully delivered.

partial same_term A for effort

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.

partial same_term A for effort

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.
