As energy bills skyrocket, no family should have to choose between keeping the lights on and paying for food or childcare.
That’s why I teamed up with Rep. Pappas to push for expanded heating and cooling assistance through LIHEAP.
LIHEAP is a lifeline for many, but the program is woefully underfunded. Adjusting for inflation, if LIHEAP were funded at the same level as it was 45 years ago, the program would have received nearly $7 billion in FY27. I’m leading a bipartisan call to increase funding for this essential program.
