| Despite electricity prices rising twice as fast as inflation this year, Monica De La Cruz voted to raise energy bills on hardworking Americans today.
House Republicans pushed through an extreme funding bill that slashes nearly $5.5 million from Texas for programs designed to lower utility bills for American families.
The program most hurt by De La Cruz and Republicans’ spending bill is the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for families through energy efficiency.
REMINDER: Under De La Cruz’s Big, Ugly Law alone, Texas would see a spike of $479 in annual energy bills.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Monica De la Cruz has now voted TWICE this year to raise energy costs on hardworking Texans. Her 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 De La Cruz is to blame when they vote in 2026.” |
