Scrap the Green New Deal and put all forms of American-made energy on the same playing field.
Occurrences
Evidence
House Roll Call 134 shows H.R. 4690, the Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act, passed 215-202 on April 22, 2026; the roll-call page records Ryan Zinke of Montana voting Yea.
The clerk's roll-call page shows H.R. 4758, the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act, passed 210-199 on February 25, 2026; Ryan Zinke's vote is listed as Yea.
Zinke's office said the House passed the 2026 Farm, Food, and National Security Act, and highlighted that the bill 'modernizes rural development and energy programs' while including six provisions he sponsored or co-sponsored.
Assessments
Zinke has taken concrete same-term action consistent with the pledge by voting for House-passed bills to roll back federal green-energy mandates and support broader energy choice, and by advancing related energy provisions in the House farm bill. However, the promised outcome is broad: scrapping the Green New Deal and placing all American-made energy sources on the same playing field. The evidence shows chamber-level legislative progress and policy effort, not final enactment or a completed federal policy change. Because he materially advanced the agenda but has not delivered the full promised outcome, partial credit is appropriate.
