Castor's office said Representatives Castor, DeGette, Huffman, Schakowsky, and Clarke reintroduced the Frack Pack, a set of five bills aimed at closing loopholes that allow the oil and gas industry to skirt key environmental and public health protections. The package includes the CLEANER Act, FRAC Act, FRESHER Act, SHARED Act, and CLOSE Act.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation closing oil and gas environmental and public-health loopholes, not necessarily to enact it. Castor directly sponsored/reintroduced the 2025 Frack Pack and H.R. 6080, the CLEANER Act, aimed at regulating oil and gas wastes and closing those loopholes while she was serving in federal office. That is sufficient to count the promise as fulfilled in the same term.
Castor and colleagues reintroduced the Frack Pack, a package of bills explicitly aimed at closing loopholes that let oil and gas companies evade environmental and public health protections. That is direct legislative support matching the promise, even though the cited evidence does not show enactment.
