The Congressional Record shows Rep. Castor's amendment would have excluded oil and gas leasing in the South Atlantic Planning Area, Straits of Florida Planning Area, and Eastern Gulf areas referenced in GOMESA. The recorded vote failed 214-219, and Gimenez is listed among the no votes.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Same-term voting record cuts against full delivery: Gimenez voted against a direct amendment to keep Florida-adjacent offshore areas out of an oil and gas leasing plan, despite later cosponsoring Florida-specific moratorium legislation.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. later_term A for effort

Gimenez did not fully deliver the promised offshore-drilling opposition because the record is mixed and no moratorium or ban passed. In the same congressional term following the 2022 campaign, he voted against a direct amendment excluding Florida-adjacent offshore areas from oil and gas leasing, which undercuts full credit. In a later term, he cosponsored the PROTECT Florida Act to impose a moratorium on offshore leasing and exploration off Florida until 2032, a concrete legislative effort, but it was only introduced and referred to committee. That supports partial credit for later-term effort, not full delivery.
