NEW REPORT: Schweikert, Crane, Ciscomani Tax Plan Would Hike Home Energy Prices, Cost Thousands of Arizona Jobs

GOP Tax Scam hikes home energy costs by $1.6 billion, eliminates 27,000+ jobs, shrinks state GDP by $38 billion

new report shows just how devastating David Schweikert, Eli Crane, Juan Ciscomani, and House Republicans’ Tax Scam would be for Arizonans’ wallets:

  • Arizona households would pay $1.6 billion more in increased energy bills over the next decade, with the average Arizonan paying nearly $500 more – a 12% hike – each year.
  • Arizona would lose 22,800 jobs in 2030 and 27,200 jobs in 2035.
  • State GDP would shrink by $38 billion over the next 10 years.

These increased costs, lost jobs, and economic shock are in addition to the 342,000 Arizonans who will lose their health insurance under Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani’s plan.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“The Big, Ugly Bill is a daily reminder to Arizona that David Schweikert, Eli Crane, Juan Ciscomani, and House Republicans have failed miserably at fulfilling their central campaign promise to lower costs, protect jobs, and grow the economy. Arizonans will hold all three of these frauds accountable next year.”
