Your Vote Matters
Midterm elections happen every two years, between Presidential election cycles, and though they might not feel as big as Presidential elections, they are very important. This year, all 435 seats in the U.S. House and 33 members of the Senate are up for election.
Elections impact policy areas that affect your everyday life, from the cost of groceries to healthcare to energy. Federal, state and local elections can play an important role on energy issues that can impact consumers, including:
- Funding for grid reliability, how strong the grid is through extreme heat and storms
- How much new energy (and the infrastructure to transport that energy) can be built.
- What kind of energy is being built in your backyard and how quickly
