“Californians have been crushed under the weight of runaway inflation and an ever-increasing cost of living. Today, I took my latest step to rein-in inflation by voting for sweeping, bipartisan energy and permitting reform legislation that will lower gas and grocery prices, reduce utility bills, and make everyday goods more affordable. I look forward to continuing to fight inflation and protect taxpayers in the coming months.” – Congressman Kevin Kiley

Background: Rep. Kiley has focused on making California more affordable since Day One. Supporting H.R. 1, The Lower Energy Costs Act, is the latest step. You can view Rep. Kiley’s floor speech in support of the bill here. Rep. Kiley previously worked to pass legislation safeguarding over 700,000 Americans making less than $75,000/year from intrusive IRS audits and secured guidance from the IRS preventing Middle Class Tax Refund (MCTR) payments from federal taxation. This guidance overrode previous CA state guidance.
