Climate & Energy
Supports aggressive expansion of fossil fuel production and reduction of energy regulations, prioritizing cheap, reliable energy and domestic energy dominance while backing advanced nuclear and fusion development as strategic assets. Advocates policies to ‘‘unleash’’ oil, natural gas, and coal and to slash energy regulations to lower costs.
News
John Shulli is in the news because Delaware is being investigated by HHS over possible violations of the Weldon Amendment, which concerns abortion coverage requirements. Separate reports also say Delaware lawmakers are considering bills to change the state’s primary election system, including opening primaries to unaffiliated voters and changing the primary date. The updates point to ongoing policy and election-rule debates in the state, but the summaries do not show a direct action by Shulli himself.
