Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The cited evidence shows DesJarlais supported broad or adjacent energy measures, but neither H. Res. 1182 nor H.R. 4690 enacted changes to oil exploration permitting or opened additional regions for domestic oil production. As a federal House member, a vote for nonbinding or indirectly related energy policy is not enough to count as delivering this specific promise. The record supports some effort toward pro-domestic-energy policy, but not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
