Evidence

"I write today to urge you to take additional action to address rising energy costs..." and "I request that you provide an update on any potential or ongoing Federal Trade Commission inquiry... closely monitor the effects of the Ukraine conflict on oil and gas markets, and take additional action to address unfair or deceptive trade practices in the oil and gas industry."

Hassan directly pressed the FTC for an update and for further action on unfair or deceptive oil and gas trade practices, which is a direct match for the commitment to press the agency on Big Oil price gouging.

Hassan directly urged the FTC to act on unfair and deceptive oil and gas trade practices and introduced legislation directing the FTC to investigate and report on the industry. That is a concrete, material effort matching the promise to press the agency on Big Oil price gouging, with same-term action taken while in office.
