Congress.gov shows Rep. Tony Wied as sponsor of H.R. 1513, introduced on February 21, 2025. The bill's official title says it was "To repeal programs relating to funding for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and for other purposes," and its status remains "Introduced."

Wied introduced a concrete deregulation bill aimed at repealing EV charging infrastructure funding, but it did not become law.

The House office said Wied sent letters urging Wisconsin lawmakers and the PSC to support bills that would require local approval before the state could proceed with large-scale wind or solar development, arguing communities should have the final say over siting decisions.

This is a concrete effort to loosen or reverse regulatory barriers around energy project siting, though it targets state policy and does not itself enact federal change.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Wied made concrete same-term efforts related to energy deregulation, including sponsoring H.R. 1513 to repeal EV charging infrastructure programs and urging Wisconsin officials to change energy siting policy. However, the federal bill remained only introduced, the state-facing letters did not themselves deliver a federal regulatory reduction, and the record does not show that he achieved the promised reduction of government regulations to expand America’s energy potential. Because there was a serious attempt but no delivered outcome, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.

never same_term A for effort

The promise was to reduce government regulations to unleash U.S. energy potential, which requires an enacted deregulatory outcome or comparable implemented policy change. The evidence shows Wied made same-term efforts, including sponsoring H.R. 1513 to repeal EV charging infrastructure programs and urging Wisconsin officials on energy siting policy, but the bill remained only introduced and the state-focused letters did not themselves deliver a federal regulatory reduction. Because there was a serious legislative/executive-style attempt without delivery of the promised outcome, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
