The release criticizes Democrats for rhetoric and policies, expressing support for election integrity measures and border security expansion while calling for action against antisemitism.
The statement expresses support for border security expansion and election integrity measures. The DHS appropriations bill funds border security agencies (CBP, ICE) and election-related functions (Secret Service), aligning with the stated priorities. However, the bill is a broad appropriations measure that funds the entire DHS portfolio—including cybersecurity, FEMA, and other functions—rather than specifically targeting border security expansion or election integrity. The rep's YES vote is generally consistent with the stated support for border security, but the bill does not directly address the antisemitism or Democratic rhetoric concerns mentioned in the statement.

May 21, 2026
The release criticizes Democrats for rhetoric and policies, expressing support for election integrity measures and border security expansion while calling for action against antisemitism.
The statement emphasizes support for election integrity measures and border security expansion. The bill is a continuing resolution that includes a modification to voter registration requirements for federal elections, which aligns with the rep's stated support for election integrity. However, the bill is primarily an appropriations measure funding federal agencies and disaster relief, not a focused border security or election integrity bill. The rep's YES vote on the CR is generally consistent with supporting election integrity provisions, but the bill's primary purpose and content extend well beyond the specific policy areas highlighted in the statement.

Fox News: GOP urges SCOTUS to reject 'war on American energy' they say would hit families' wallets
Position: House Republicans urge the Supreme Court to reject a Colorado county's climate liability lawsuit against major oil companies, arguing it represents federal overreach that would drive up energy costs and undermine national energy policy set by Congress.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Fox News’ Adam Pack highlighted House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and House Republicans urging the Supreme Court to side with ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy in a climate lawsuit that would drive up energy costs, threaten domestic energy production, and hand local activists outsized influence over national energy policy.

Fox News: GOP urges SCOTUS to reject 'war on American energy' they say would hit families' wallets
Rep Gabe Evans calls the Boulder County case an attack on Colorado jobs and American energy independence
June 2, 2026
By Adam Pack
More than 70 lawmakers are lining up against a Colorado county's effort to hold major oil companies financially liable for alleged climate change damages.
The group of House Republicans led by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., is calling on the Supreme Court to side with ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy in a hotly contested climate change lawsuit that they argue amounts to a costly "war on American energy."
The GOP lawmakers have characterized Boulder County’s lawsuit as a "dangerous overreach" that could leave major fossil fuel companies on the hook for billions of dollars in alleged damages. A positive ruling for the liberal county would encourage more lawsuits that could threaten the financial viability of the fossil fuel industry, they warn.
"Radical activists are trying to use the courts to accomplish what they couldn't achieve through legislation — forcing their radical agenda on the American people and driving energy costs even higher," Scalise said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "These lawsuits would hand local activist politicians the power to dictate national energy policy and threaten the energy producers that power our economy."
Attorneys with the law firm Boyden Gray filed the amicus, or "friend of the court," brief on behalf of the congressional Republicans.
The court is expected to hear oral arguments this fall in Suncor v. Boulder about whether federal law preempts localities from seeking relief for alleged climate damages in state courts. A ruling is expected in 2027.
The case reached the nation’s highest court after the Colorado Supreme Court allowed the yearslong case to proceed under state law, despite long-standing questions about whether localities can seek damages over cross-border and global greenhouse gas emissions. Boulder originally sued the major oil companies in 2018, arguing they knowingly contributed to global warming and misled the public about alleged climate harms.
The Republicans’ amicus brief argues that liability claims belong under federal jurisdiction, because allowing state courts to adjudicate global climate damages would result in a "cacophony of competing state commands" that undermine Congress’ role in setting national energy policy.
"The Court should reject this attempt by Respondents to establish their 'own foreign policy' from a Boulder courthouse," the brief reads.
The signers also warned that a ruling in favor of Boulder County could unleash devastating economic losses for U.S. energy producers.
"The sheer magnitude of the alleged damages would restructure the American energy industry if not bankrupt it altogether — and cause ripple effects worldwide, especially when multiplied by the dozens of similar cases across the country," the brief continued.
The legal battle is also spilling into Colorado politics, where Republicans argue that climate-related lawsuits championed by Democrats threaten jobs and drive up energy costs.
Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., a freshman lawmaker representing a swing district near the city of Boulder, cast the lawsuit as part of Democrats’ efforts to make energy production unaffordable.
"These lawsuits and regulations aren't just attacks on oil and gas companies — they're attacks on Colorado jobs, American energy independence and every family already struggling with higher costs," Evans, who signed the brief, told Fox News Digital. "I will continue fighting to protect Colorado energy workers and unleash the all-of-the-above energy strategy our nation needs."
