Assessments

Crawford explicitly campaigned for immediate repeal of Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas limits, and after taking office he voted for H.R. 2231, which advanced offshore energy expansion. But the bill did not become law, so the promised repeal was not actually delivered; this is better treated as partial credit for later-term support rather than full fulfillment.

Crawford did support legislation aimed at expanding Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas development, including voting Aye on H.R. 2231 in 2013. However, the promise was for immediate repeal of all limitations on OCS oil and gas development, and the cited bill only passed the House and did not become law. Because the promised policy outcome was not delivered, but Crawford made a serious legislative effort after entering Congress, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
