Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak, who represents North Dakota and has made energy policy a central focus of her legislative agenda, recently outlined her position on the FAIR Act through a series of posts on X on May 13, 2026.
In one post, Fedorchak stated: “At our recent Energy Subcommittee legislative hearing where the FAIR Act was discussed, every witness agreed:

Fedorchak further explained the rationale behind the proposed legislation in another post: “The FAIR Act, which I introduced, is based on this principle. It would prevent families and businesses from being forced to pay for transmission projects built to satisfy another state’s green energy goals.

She also addressed potential impacts on residential consumers: “This principle demands that large new users pay their full freight.

According to her official website, Fedorchak actively engages North Dakotans through virtual forums to gather feedback on federal issues (source). Her priorities include ensuring energy affordability, reliability and security while emphasizing domestic production and environmental stewardship (source).
