As your Representative, I firmly believe that we need to stop government subsidies for green energy and cut the burdensome regulations placed on oil and natural gas producers.

The must-pass recessions package strips over $9 billion from the federal budget by removing spending on wasteful green energy projects... We must restore fiscal sanity and pass recessions now!

Evidence
Apr 22, 2026, Roll Call 130 on H. Res. 1189; the resolution provided for consideration of H.R. 4690 and H.R. 5587. The vote record shows Rep. Josh Brecheen voted Yea.
The bill title and full title state that H.R. 4690 amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to repeal certain Federal building energy efficiency performance standards, and for other purposes.
The reported House version states the bill would amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to waive the requirement for a Federal drilling permit for certain activities and exempt certain activities from NEPA requirements.
Assessments
Brecheen supported energy-regulation rollback legislation in the House, including bills to repeal federal building energy-efficiency standards and to waive drilling permit/NEPA requirements for certain geothermal activities. That is concrete deregulatory action consistent with the promise to reduce burdensome energy regulations, but the evidence does not show enactment into law and does not directly show stopping green-energy subsidies or oil-and-gas-specific regulatory relief at the promised scope. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
Brecheen took same-term legislative action consistent with the promise by voting to advance energy deregulation measures, including bills to repeal federal building energy efficiency standards and reduce federal permitting/NEPA requirements for certain geothermal energy activities. The evidence shows serious effort and partial alignment with reducing burdensome energy regulations, but it does not show enacted repeal of green energy subsidies or completed regulatory relief for oil and natural gas producers sufficient to count as full delivery.
