We could open just 3 percent of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and also drill from the Outer Continental Shelf.

Rogers calls for opening a small share of ANWR and allowing Outer Continental Shelf drilling as part of domestic energy production.

Evidence

On 9/12/2019, Rogers voted Nay on H.Res. 548, a rule for bills including H.R. 1146 to repeal the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil and gas program and H.R. 1941 to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from including certain Outer Continental Shelf planning areas in any leasing program.

Rogers opposed a package that would have blocked ANWR and parts of the Outer Continental Shelf from energy leasing, which aligns with support for lifting such bans.

The executive order directs Interior to withdraw the 2021 ANWR halt, rescind ANWR lease cancellations where consistent with the order, initiate additional Coastal Plain leasing, and issue permits needed for exploration, development, and production of oil and gas from ANWR leases.

A later federal executive action reopened or advanced ANWR oil and gas leasing and permitting, consistent with the policy Rogers supported, though it is not itself evidence of Rogers acting.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Rogers promised to support lifting restrictions on environmentally safe domestic energy exploration in ANWR and the Outer Continental Shelf. While serving in the same federal House office won in the 2002 campaign, he repeatedly cast votes aligned with that position, including supporting House consideration of OCS exploration legislation in 2006, supporting an ANWR drilling-related amendment in 2008, and opposing later measures that would have restricted ANWR and OCS leasing. Because the promise was framed as support rather than sole enactment of a final policy outcome, these official votes are enough to count the promise as delivered.

Mike Rogers consistently supported measures to lift or weaken restrictions on domestic energy exploration in ANWR and the Outer Continental Shelf while serving in the House, including yea votes on relevant rules, amendments, and later energy bills. Because the promise was to support that policy and the record shows repeated same-term support from an active federal officeholder, this is best treated as fulfilled rather than merely attempted.

Rogers promised to support lifting restrictions on domestic energy exploration in ANWR and the Outer Continental Shelf. During his House service after the 2002 campaign, he voted for measures advancing ANWR drilling and Outer Continental Shelf exploration and voted against later measures that would have restricted ANWR and OCS leasing. Because the promise was framed as support rather than securing final enactment, these federal legislative actions satisfy the pledge in the same office term.
