Chairwoman McClain Condemns Senate Democrats’ Vote Against Ratepayer Protection Act

WASHINGTON — House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) released the following statement after Senate Democrats blocked H.R. 9340, the Ratepayer Protection Act, from advancing. “Families should not be forced to subsidize massive new power demands they did not create,” Chairwoman McClain said . “This bill would have protected ratepayers in Michigan and nationwide while allowing America to keep building, innovating, and leading the world in AI. Instead, Senate Democrats chose obstruction and left hardworking Americans exposed to higher costs.” “That is the wrong choice. Washington should be protecting families from unnecessary price hikes, not standing in the way of commonsense reforms that keep more money in their pockets. Democrats can make all the excuses they want, but today they stood in the way of lower costs for the American people.” ###
