| Despite electricity prices rising twice as fast as inflation this year, Tom Barrett and Bill Huizenga voted to raise energy bills on hardworking Americans today.
House Republicans pushed through an extreme funding bill that slashes $11,145,000 million from Michigan for programs designed to lower utility bills for American families.
The program most hurt by Barrett, Huizenga, and Republicans’ spending bill is the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for families through energy efficiency.
REMINDER: Under Barrett and Huizenga’s Big, Ugly Law alone, Michiganders would see a spike of $322 in annual energy bills.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Tom Barrett and Bill Huizenga have now voted TWICE this year to raise energy costs on hardworking Michiganders. Their vote is both political malpractice and incredibly cruel to millions of households struggling to pay their bills. As working families across the country see their utility bills go up and up, the DCCC will make sure everyone knows Barrett and Huizenga are to blame when they vote in 2026.” |
