Rob Bresnahan Votes to Raise Energy Costs – AGAIN

After Bresnahan already voted to raise energy prices on Americans when he passed the Big, Ugly Law, House Republicans voted for another bill that will lead to even higher energy costs for American families

Despite electricity prices rising twice as fast as inflation this year, Rob Bresnahan voted to raise energy bills on hardworking Americans yesterday.

House Republicans pushed through an extreme funding bill that slashes $87.3 million from Pennsylvania for programs designed to lower utility bills for American families.

The program most hurt by Bresnahan and Republicans’ spending bill is the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for families through energy efficiency.

REMINDER: Under Bresnahan’s Big, Ugly Law alone, Pennsylvanians would see a spike of $164 in annual energy bills.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
Rob Bresnahan has now voted TWICE this year to raise energy costs on hardworking Pennsylvanians. 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 Bresnahan is to blame when they vote in 2026.”
