NEW DATA: Nebraskans Are Paying $120 More on Electricity Thanks to House Republicans

New data released earlier this week proves that House Republicans’ reckless policies are spiking energy costs on Nebraska families – and House Republicans are to blame.

Under total GOP control of Washington, Nebraskans are paying $120 more on electricity in 2025 – a nearly 10% jump from 2024.

Let’s not forget: Brinker Harding supported the Big, Ugly Law that made Nebraska’s energy affordability crisis even worse. The extreme GOP bill is expected to cost Americans $170 billion more in increased energy bills over the next ten years.

Is it any surprise that even fellow House Republicans are admitting that “no one thinks we’re keeping the majority” in November?

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“House Republicans ran on a pledge to slash energy costs and deliver real relief for working families – yet at every turn, they’ve voted to do the exact opposite. As Brinker Harding competes to join the group that is selling out Nebraskans to cut deals and give tax breaks to utility company bigwigs, voters won’t forget this betrayal, and will refuse to support him in November.”
