Subject Energy prices are hitting my family hard — here's what I need you to do

Families across Michigan are getting squeezed. Since the U.S.-Iran conflict started earlier this year, gas prices jumped more than 30 percent in just a few weeks — one of the sharpest spikes in any midterm battleground state. That's not an abstraction. That's people choosing between filling a tank and buying groceries. Heating bills were already a burden before this, and now every trip to work or the store costs more than it did three months ago.

Michigan has real options here. We have wind, solar, and the capacity to build a cleaner, more homegrown energy supply that doesn't spike every time there's a crisis overseas. Governor Whitmer has pushed for clean energy investment, and the state legislature has the power to keep that momentum going. But it requires choosing to invest in Michigan families over the status quo. When we rely on oil markets we can't control, we're the ones who pay the price — at the pump, on our utility bills, and in our household budgets.

I'm asking you to support funding and legislation that accelerates Michigan's transition to homegrown clean energy so that families aren't held hostage to global oil shocks every few years.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent in your district. I'm calling about energy costs — gas is up over 30 percent since earlier this year and it's really hurting families here.
Michigan has real options to build cleaner, local energy that doesn't spike every time something happens overseas. I want the representative to be pushing for that.
This isn't about politics — it's about keeping energy affordable and keeping that money in Michigan instead of sending it to oil markets we can't control.
I'm asking the representative to actively support clean energy investment in Michigan so families aren't stuck paying for crises we didn't cause. This is a priority for me and I vote.
