Republican Members of Congress Running for Governor Still Need to Answer for Their Votes Hiking Gas Prices

As gas prices hit record highs across the country, House Republicans and current gubernatorial candidates Andy Biggs (AZ), David Schweikert (AZ), Randy Feenstra (IA), John James (MI), and Tom Tiffany (WI) voted last week to continue Trump's costly war in Iran that is crushing families at the gas pump.

Every Republican member of Congress running for governor must answer why they voted to continue this reckless war that's sending costs soaring while everyday Americans pay the price.

"Americans are paying sky-high prices at the gas pump, yet every House Republican running for governor turned their back on working families and stood with Trump to continue the Iran war," said DGA Communications Director Sam Newton. "They've already voted to raise the cost of healthcare, groceries, and this is just the latest way Republicans are making everyday life more expensive for Americans. They owe voters answers."
