Washington, D.C.– Today, LCV Victory Fund announced a new ad program that includes Florida’s Seventh District highlighting Republican Congressman Cory Mill’s votes to cut clean energy that raised rates across Florida. The ads will be targeted to reach “Energy Bill Voters,” a key voting bloc hit particularly hard by energy price increases that LCV Victory Fund seeks to mobilize heading toward this November’s critical midterm election. This is the earliest LCV Victory Fund has ever invested in House races, highlighting the egregious votes Mills has taken and the impact it has had on voters in his district. The ads will launch on digital platforms this week.

Since President Trump took office, energy costs have risen 18% nationwide and have continued to get worse for Floridians. Recent polling shows that 35% of all voters, and 51% of undecided voters placed the cost of utilities, like electricity and heating “as their most important issue in deciding who to vote for in Congressional elections.”
At the same time, the number of voters blaming high energy costs on Trump and Congressional Republicans’ cancellation of clean energy projects has already risen 5% in the first half of 2026 alone.
Despite the popularity of both American clean energy resources and projects, the Trump Administration and Republicans like Rep. Mills have continued to roll back clean energy projects that help lower costs, grow good paying American jobs, and protect the health and safety of our communities. In 2026, Florida residents saw the largest rate hike in state history from the state’s biggest utilities. The pain of these choices is being felt across Florida and LCV Victory Fund is ensuring that voters know exactly who is responsible.
You see what I’m holding here? This is my utility bill.
$350, $350!
Last year, it was 160.
That’s on top of groceries and everything else.
I hope you are hearing me, Congressman Cory Mills.
Your votes to cut our clean energy supply made our utility rates go up.
Why?
So you can give billionaires another tax cut. I’ve got 4 kids.
Congressman Mills, your votes are crushing us.
