HOUSE REPUBLICANS DID THAT: National Gas Average Rises to $4/Gallon

House Republicans continue to recklessly stand behind their disastrous agenda, which is rapidly accelerating the affordability crisis in Kentucky.

In Kentucky alone, gas prices are now at $3.88 per gallon, and the national gas average just hit $4 per gallon, the highest since August of 2022.
Gas prices in Lexington (KY-06) are the highest they have been in more than THREE YEARS…and Ryan Dotson and Ralph Alvarado have nothing to say about it.
The sharp rise in gas prices comes as everyday Americans are struggling to make ends meet as everything gets more expensive. A recent CBS News YouGov poll found that 53% of Americans say Trump is making people WORSE OFF financially. Even worse: 60% of Independents say Trump’s policies are making them WORSE OFF – up from 38% in October 2024.

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“House Republicans won in 2024 on the promise that they would make life more affordable, but haven’t done a damn thing to lower prices. This crisis is on extremists like Ryan Dotson and Ralph Alvarado who have completely refused to stand up for Kentuckians as prices continue to rise.”
