What the document says

“The next Administration should stop using energy policy to advance politicized social agendas.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 370

The chapter names energy justice, Justice40 and diversity, equity and inclusion as programs it says can be transformed to promote politicized agendas. It says the department should focus on abundant, affordable, reliable and secure energy and should manage employees so that everyone is treated fairly on talent, skills and hard work.

What the document actually says

“The next Administration should stop using energy policy to advance politicized social agendas.”

That sentence, in plain words

Do not use energy rules to push causes. That should stop.

What this is about

Some energy programs aim to help certain communities. The book calls those social causes. It says energy policy should not be used that way.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
