His agenda is simple: lower the cost of food, housing, and utilities
I will lower the cost of food, housing, and utilities for Valley families.
Occurrences
Lower food, housing and utility costs.
Evidence
Representative Adam Gray introduced the bipartisan Harnessing Energy at Thermal Sources (HEATS) Act. The release says the bill would exempt geothermal activities on state and private land from federal drilling permits and that the HEATS Act would lower energy costs for Valley families and drive down prices for the Valley.
Gray said he passed three bipartisan bills on the House floor and that all three advanced to the Senate. One of the bills was the HEATS Act, described as streamlining geothermal energy development and production and decreasing energy costs.
Gray said he helped pass the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 through the full House and secured an amendment for Valley farmers, businesses, and rural communities. The release says the bill would strengthen support for American-grown products and is part of the Farm Bill governing agricultural and food programs.
Gray said the House voted to extend the expired Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits for three years. He stated he introduced the Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act in August to reverse Medicaid cuts and permanently extend the ACA tax credits and had been negotiating across the aisle for an extension.

Congressman Adam Gray said he pressed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on Central Valley water and agriculture priorities during a House Natural Resources Committee oversight hearing.
Gray said the Interior Department's announcement of $540 million in funding from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for California water infrastructure projects was a win for the state, while calling for more resources.
Assessments
Gray took relevant same-term actions, especially on utilities and food: he introduced the HEATS Act to lower energy costs, helped move it and other bipartisan bills through the House, advanced a farm bill, and pressed the administration on water and agriculture issues. But the record provided shows legislative advancement and advocacy, not completed policy outcomes that demonstrably lowered Valley families' food, housing, and utility costs. The housing portion is especially unsupported. Because this was a serious legislative effort without evidence of delivered cost reductions or final enactment of the key measures, the promise is best judged as not fulfilled, with credit for effort.
Gray has materially advanced legislation related to the promise, especially the HEATS Act aimed at lowering energy or utility costs and Farm Bill provisions related to food and agriculture. Some measures passed the House during his congressional term and advanced beyond introduction. However, the evidence does not show final enactment or actual reductions in food, housing, and utility costs for Valley families, and housing-cost delivery is not established. This supports partial credit for same-term progress, not full delivery.
