Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani Vote to Raise Energy Costs – AGAIN

After already raising energy prices on Americans when they 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, David Schweikert, Eli Crane, and Juan Ciscomani voted to raise energy bills on hardworking Americans today.

House Republicans pushed through an extreme funding bill that slashes $1.4 million from Arizona for programs designed to lower utility bills for American families. 

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

REMINDER: Under Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani’s Big, Ugly Law alone, Arizonans would see a spike of $222 in annual energy bills.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“David Schweikert, Eli Crane, and Juan Ciscomani have now voted TWICE this year to raise energy costs on hardworking Arizonans. Their 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 Schweikert, Crane, and Ciscomani are to blame when they vote in 2026.”
