ICYMI: Davis’ Democrat Party Blocks Bill to Lower Energy Costs

September 18, 2026

This week, Don Davis’ 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 Laurie Buckhout’s party took action to protect Eastern North Carolinians from rising energy prices, Davis’ party chose to defend the same costly policies driving those prices higher.

“Don Davis’ Democrat colleagues are choosing the Green New Deal over lower energy costs for hardworking families. While Republicans like Laurie Buckhout fight to protect Americans from rising utility bills, Democrats keep defending the policies driving those bills higher.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
