Allred Opposes Harmful Legislation that Would Make Appliances Less Efficient, Raise Costs

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Colin Allred (TX-32), today voted against the Hands Off Our Appliances Act, a bill that would repeal the requirement for the federal government to update energy-efficient standards for appliances.

"Now more than ever families need us to be working to lower costs, and stripping away energy efficiency standards will only risk raising utility bills even higher," said Allred. "As someone who was raised by a single mom, I know how hard it can be when utility bills are high. I am hopeful we can work together to instead pass bills that will lower costs and save folks money, not take us backward."
