| Despite electricity prices rising twice as fast as inflation this year, Nick Begich voted to raise energy bills on hardworking Americans today.
House Republicans pushed through an extreme funding bill that slashes over $1.3 million from Alaska for programs designed to lower utility bills for American families.
The program most hurt by Begich and Republicans’ spending bill is the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for families through energy efficiency.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Begich has now voted TWICE this year to raise energy costs on hardworking Alaskans. His 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 Begich is to blame when they vote in 2026.” |
