“Iowans are experiencing one of the hottest summers in history. In weather like this, ensuring your home stays cool and comfortable is top of mind for many, but it is also lifesaving. Unfortunately for us, the Biden administration is telling Americans that their thermostats should be at 78 degrees when they are home during the day and even higher when sleeping. How can anyone be comfortable in their home with the thermostat set so high? That is why I, along with my good friend Senator Ernst, introduced the Lead by Example Act. This bill would require the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency office buildings to be set to the Department of Energy's recommendation of at least 78 degrees, to set their thermostat where they are recommending it be set for you. Currently, with so many DOE officials working from home, taxpayers are paying to cool empty office buildings. Once again, do as I say, not as I do. It is outrageous that Biden's executive agencies are the exception to the rule, yet the Department of Energy is urging hardworking Americans to change their lifestyles without any consideration for varying climates or health concerns. That is why I am proud to join Senator Ernst on the Lead by Example Act, and I encourage all of my colleagues to support it. {time} 1215 Honoring the Life and Memory of Former Hawkeye Football Player Cody Ince”
