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.

Assessments

delivered same_term

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.
