Strongly agree

Yes

Crenshaw has generally supported expanding domestic oil and gas production and criticized restrictions on drilling/leases, arguing for U.S. energy independence and lower prices; this aligns with expanding offshore drilling.

Disagree

No, but maintain our current offshore oil wells

He typically favors increasing production rather than holding the status quo; a “maintain current wells only” stance conflicts with his pro-expansion, pro-leasing posture.

Disagree

No, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production

He has supported some innovation/clean-energy R&D framing, but he generally opposes using policy to restrict oil and gas; prioritizing incentives as a reason to say “no” to offshore expansion would not match his stance.

Strongly disagree

No

Very strongly disagree

No, end all offshore oil drilling

Ending all offshore drilling is opposite his consistent support for oil and gas development and opposition to policies he views as constraining U.S. energy supply.

Very strongly disagree

No, and nationalize the energy sector

Nationalizing the energy sector is fundamentally at odds with his free-market, limited-government positions and Republican energy platform.
