“While a temporary waiver for the summer sale of E15 is welcome news and will bolster domestic markets for corn and sorghum farmers and hopefully provide some relief at the pump, it falls far short of the promise of permanent year-round E15. House Democrats have urged the Republican majority to make year-round E15 the law of the land. What are Republicans waiting for? Hardworking people in this country are struggling with Trump’s cost of living crisis – from health care to groceries to energy bills to child care – and it is time that Congress put up or shut up by putting legislation for permanent year-round E15 to a vote of the full House.” 

In Congress, Ranking Member Craig has worked across the aisle for years to promote homegrown biofuels and led the charge to pass year-round E15 legislation in the House under the last Democratic majority.  

At the recent 2026 Farm Bill markup, she and Agriculture Democrats argued for the inclusion of year-round E15 language to be added to the bill. Agriculture Committee Republicans rejected this effort. 

Last year, she introduced her bipartisan Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act to make year-round access to E15 permanent nationwide – expanding market access for American farmers and lowering costs for drivers at the gas pump. She previously led a bipartisan letter to newly confirmed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, urging the Agency to prioritize biofuels as part of the Trump administration’s energy agenda.
