Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak has publicly criticized the Biden administration’s resource management plan for North Dakota, calling it a threat to energy security and affordability. On September 3, 2025, she stated on her social media account, "In his last week in office, President Biden finalized a radical resource management plan for North Dakota. He ignored our state’s concerns and put special interests above energy security and affordability. I’m leading a resolution to overturn this plan. Watch https://t.co/lLm15Cnfts".

The following day, Congresswoman Fedorchak announced that her legislative effort to reverse the policy had succeeded in the House of Representatives. In a post dated September 4, 2025, she wrote, "H.J. Res. 105, my resolution to overturn the Biden administration's Resource Management Plan for North Dakota, passed the House! Finalized in the very last week of the Biden admin, the plan was a backdoor attempt to shut down fossil fuels in our state. ↓ https://t.co/pWho9IDURF".

Later that same day, she expressed gratitude toward colleagues who supported her efforts: "Thank you @SteveScalise and @RepLisaMcClain for the sweet treats to celebrate the passage of H.J. Res. 105! https://t.co/yLJm77RKEH" (September 4, 2025).

Resource management plans set guidelines for land use and natural resource extraction on federal lands within states like North Dakota. Such policies have often been at the center of debate between federal authorities and local leaders regarding environmental regulation versus economic development priorities.
