Congress gets the headlines. But here’s the truth: Your governor probably has more say over your power bill, your schools, your roads, and your health care than Congress does. Don’t sit this election out.
The GOP has had a majority of the nation's governorships since 2010. After November, maybe not. While so much attention is on what will happen in Washington, Republicans’ grip on state power is also at risk in elections wapo.st/4zDyywf

“We’re making a freaking fortune.” Not families paying 40% more for gas. Not truckers paying $6.28 for diesel. Not parents worried about keeping the lights on. Big Oil is making a fortune. You’re paying for it. And Trump doesn’t give a damn. His words.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Governor Jay Inslee has a message for Oregonians: Tina Kotek is the only candidate in this race that will fight back against climate change.

$4,000. That's how much more the average Wisconsin household could pay for energy through 2040, depending on who wins the governor's race. @DavidCCrowley's clean energy agenda will save families money. Tiffany's just costs them more and more. evergreenaction.com/policy-h…

Trump’s war is driving up gas prices while Big Oil rakes in billions. And he’s bragging about it. As @JayInslee put it, Trump's making oil executives richer while sticking it to American drivers. That’s who Trump is working for. Not you. huffpost.com/entry/trump-ira…

I’ve said it before: Trump promised to cut energy prices in half. He lied. This November, voters will hold him (and his party) accountable at the ballot box.

The Supreme Court has largely undermined climate legislation and climate regulation. So what’s left for them to target? Climate litigation. Governor @JayInslee joins me on a new episode of Making the Case.

Trump’s core 2024 promise was bringing down costs by being the energy president — “when you bring down energy costs, everything else falls.” The story of 2026 is that his energy policy, killing clean energy to make us dependent on oil, gas, and coal, has been a massive failure.

Trump promised to cut energy prices in half. Guess what? He lied. Voters won’t forget when they cast their ballots this November. 🗳️
Trump’s signature cost-of-living promise on the campaign trail was that he’d cut energy prices in half — now his “oil & gas only” energy policy is his single biggest failure, the biggest reason Republicans are losing. 3 of the 4 top pain points for people are energy costs.

Today, the Washington Supreme Court ruled I-2066 unconstitutional. Above all: This is a major victory for the health of Washingtonians, for our clean air and water, and for our utility bills—prevailing over the deception of corporate special interests and big polluters.

But I am also not surprised that Brian Heywood and his special interest benefactors were too braindead to write a constitutionally compliant initiative.

Most of America’s electricity grid, for the better part of a century, has been "renting" its power one fuel shipment at a time. Clean energy resources are the closest thing the grid has to home ownership. Read my latest: jayinslee.com/p/clean-energy…

America’s leaders must ensure data centers don’t steamroll communities with higher energy costs and more pollution. @GovernorShapiro is holding these companies accountable — that's the leadership every state needs right now. nbcnews.com/politics/2028-el…

Now this is state leadership, @GovWesMoore. Maryland is showing the country that saving families money on their electricity bills and advancing clean energy go hand-in-hand. 👏 governor.maryland.gov/news/p…

Last weekend, I met with wildfire survivors in eastern Washington. I was struck by their resilience and determination to rebuild. But no one should have to endure what they have.

Climate change – fueled by dirty energy – is fundamentally changing the American West. We must do everything we can to make the switch to clean energy and protect our communities and neighbors. nytimes.com/2026/08/23/clima…
