Political Quotes

“I was so excited when I started hearing from the President and the other side of the aisle that we are going to start working on lowering costs and that we are going to address affordability in America. Finally, after 10 months in this administration, and, yes, one of the first bills that we voted on, H.R. 1949, actually increases Americans' utility bills by even more, by hundreds of dollars, in fact. So, once again, we are back here, and we are doing things that actually raise costs on the American people. So with tariff policies that promote monopolies or policies that simply raise costs directly on the American people, this Congress, this leadership continues to raise costs and not actually address affordability. We have tons of legislation that are stuck in committees that have not gotten a fair hearing or gotten to this floor that will address the cost of utility bills, healthcare, and so many other things head-on. Instead, the leadership on the Republican side continues to raise costs on the American people. So we have the ideas. If the President wants to work with us or anyone else on the other side wants to work with us, then we are ready to do that to lower costs for the American people.”
