ICYMI: Suozzi & Gillen’s Democrat Party Blocks Bill to Lower Energy Costs

September 18, 2026

This week, Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s Democrat Party blocked the Ratepayer Protection Act, siding with the Green New Deal agenda that’s already driven up utility costs for hardworking families.

While Mike LiPetri and Jeanine Driscoll’s Party took action to protect New Yorkers from rising energy prices, Suozzi and Gillen’s Party chose to defend the same costly policies driving those prices higher.

“Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen’s Democrat colleagues are choosing the Green New Deal over lower energy costs for hardworking families. While Republicans fight to protect Americans from rising utility bills, Democrats keep defending the policies driving those bills higher.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
