“As we enter the heat of summer, people across the country are being forced to pay too much at the pump and too much for their utility bills because of the reckless policies of Trump and his Republican allies in Congress,” said LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Sara Chieffo. “It has never been more clear that we need to invest in clean energy to bring down costs and secure a free and fair democracy for all. LCV Action Fund is proud to endorse these candidates who will fight to make life more affordable for all, protect our elections and take on the big fossil fuel and utility companies that are driving up energy costs.”
