Nikki Budzinski For Congress

PIATT, MADISON, & MACOUPIN COUNTIES: Budzinski Announces Nearly $1 Million in Rural Energy Funding
— November 18, 2024

“As our communities continue to struggle with high energy costs, the Rural Energy for America Program is making critical investments to help folks lower their power bills,” said Congresswoman Budzinski. “I’m thrilled to announce more than $950,000 in federal funding for farmers and small businesses in Piatt, Madison, and Macoupin Counties to bring more energy production online, bring down costs, and reduce harmful carbon emissions. I’ll keep working to ensure Central and Southern Illinois receives its fair share of federal dollars and empower rural communities through investments like this one.”

Team,

We knew we had to hit the ground running to continue delivering for the folks across the 13th District. That is why as many folks are still digesting the election results, Nikki is getting right back to work.

Supporting our farmers is always the right decision, and Nikki will always fight to make sure they have the resources they need to farm sustainably, battle the effects of the climate crisis, and continue delivering the food our communities rely on.

With this investment into the Rural Energy for America Program, agricultural producers and rural small businesses will have the resources they need to implement or upgrade their renewable energy systems or to make energy efficiency improvements. This leads to increases in income, business growth, reduced emissions, and lower energy costs — a win all around.

Thanks for sticking with us and supporting Nikki as she continues to fight for all of us.

— Team Nikki
