ICYMI: Gonzalez’s Democrat Party Blocks Bill to Lower Energy Costs

September 18, 2026

This week, Vicente Gonzalez’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 Eric Flores’ House Republicans took action to protect Texas families from rising energy prices, Gonzalez’s party defended the same costly policies driving those prices higher.

“Vicente Gonzalez’s Democrat colleagues are choosing the Green New Deal over lower energy costs for hardworking families. While Republicans like Eric Flores fight to protect Americans from rising utility bills, Democrats keep defending the policies driving those bills higher.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
