Same guys, same lies.
Donald Trump promised to
within a year of taking office.
cut your energy bills in half
Instead they went up. New York families paid $190 more for electricity in 2025 alone, as Trump canceled energy projects we were counting on, gutted investment in energy, and launched a war that blew up energy costs.

He spent taxpayer money to cancel projects we were counting on.
$4 billion in taxpayer money, paid out by the Trump administration to cancel power projects — including $1.2 billion to walk away from New York specifically. Now that company is paying $900 million of it to a Trump donor's firm.
You paid for the cancellation. Next you’ll pay for the energy shortage.

And Bruce Blakeman?
He thanked him for it.
The day Trump shut down New York's power project, Blakeman said Nassau residents were "extremely grateful to President Trump" – never mind the lost jobs and investment.

He gutted energy investment — so less power gets built,
and you pay more.
Trump's tax law gutted investment in new power projects and eliminated household energy tax credits that lowered costs for families.
As a result, New Yorkers are paying more for energy today than they did before Trump took office. Household energy costs are up more than $190 per household just last year alone, with wholesale prices expected to increase 44% by 2030 thanks to Trump’s law..

And Bruce Blakeman?
He called Trump's law "something that's going to help every family in America."
He hasn’t said a word about what it does to your electric bill.
Long Island Herald, 3/31/26
He started a war, and sent you the bill.
Trump's war in Iran sent oil and gas prices soaring — and not just at the pump.
New York families who heat their homes with oil paid $248 more in March alone, up 38% from a year earlier.

And Bruce Blakeman?
He said the war "had to be fought"
and promised it would "drive down energy costs." Just another thing he got wrong while supporting Donald Trump.

He told us so himself:
price increases caused by Donald Trump.
Bruce Blakeman will never protect us from
“I would never be disloyal.”
It was a lie when Donald Trump said it.
