Running on a platform of needlessly raising energy prices is the best the Dems can think up?
Restoration News (9/17/25) reports: "New Jersey Democrats have been tripping over themselves while attempting to deflect blame for rising energy prices away from the expensive regulations they implemented. The clown act reached its peak when Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the party’s candidate for governor this November, pledged to put a freeze on utility bills during her first year in office. Beginning in June, Jersey residents experienced a 20 percent increase in electricity prices that can be pinned on the kind of policies she has supported in Congress. She’s panicking and pivoting. But Gov. Phil Murphy, the two-term Democrat Sherrill hopes to succeed, didn’t get the memo about her campaign strategy. While talking to reporters, Murphy said he was 'not sure' Sherrill’s plan would work. The governor even went a step further and expressed doubt Sherrill had spent any serious time going into the details about what’s driving high energy prices. Is Murphy on the payroll for the opposing side?...Murphy has adopted a plan to make New Jersey fully dependent on so-called green energy by 2035. Sherrill could have put some daylight between herself and Murphy’s 'Green New Deal' schemes when Congress voted earlier this year to overturn the EPA’s approval of California’s Advanced Clean Cars II rule. That would have been a good time for Sherrill to side with consumers since the rule would ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles. But, Sherrill did not side with consumers, as she voted against H.J. Res. 88 and in favor of the California/New Jersey standards."
