Nevada Democrats Vote Against Lower Energy Costs As House Republicans Move to Unleash American Energy

House Republicans just took a major step toward lowering energy costs for Nevada families and, predictably, Nevada’s Democratic delegation tried to stand in the way.

This week, the House passed the Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025, a commonsense, bipartisan bill designed to unleash American energy, increase supply, and drive down prices for working families. But Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford voted against it, choosing their radical base over the kitchen-table needs of the people they claim to represent.

The legislation, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger, does something painfully simple: it clears bureaucratic roadblocks so America can finally produce and export more of its own natural gas. By repealing outdated Department of Energy restrictions and empowering the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to handle approvals for LNG terminals, the bill puts energy decisions back in the hands of regulators tasked with prioritizing the public interest not partisan activists.

In short: more American energy production, more American energy exports, and lower costs for families everywhere, including right here in Nevada.

Republicans and even a number of Democrats understood that. Titus, Lee, and Horsford didn’t.

Instead, Nevada’s Democratic delegation sided with the far-left environmental lobby that openly admits it wants to end fossil fuels altogether, no matter how painful it becomes for working families trying to keep the lights on, heat their homes, or afford a drive to work.

NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez didn’t mince words: “Out of touch Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford would rather bow to the demands of the radical far-left than unleash American energy to lower energy costs for Nevada families. Titus, Lee, and Horsford can’t be trusted to put Nevadans first.”

He’s not wrong.

Nevadans have been crushed by years of soaring utility bills, skyrocketing gas prices, and inflation that refuses to go away. Even as national energy costs ease, Nevada consistently ranks among the most expensive states in the country for residential electricity and Democrats in Washington keep voting to make it worse.

The Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act is the kind of straightforward policy that should have been a no-brainer. It removes duplicative bureaucracy. It modernizes outdated approvals. It increases American production. It allows FERC, not political appointees at the Department of Energy, to evaluate LNG projects based on the public interest. And it’s projected to strengthen U.S. energy independence at a time when global instability demands exactly that. Yet Titus, Lee, and Horsford chose ideology over relief. Again.

Nevada families want lower energy bills, cheaper gas, and a future where America not China, not Russia, not the Middle East controls its own energy supply. The House just delivered a plan to make that happen.

Titus, Lee, and Horsford voted no. Fortunately, House Republicans are moving full speed ahead to put America back in the driver’s seat on energy. It’s a shame Nevada’s Democrats refuse to come along for the ride.
