This past summer was the hottest on record across the U.S., and our utility bills showed it. And yet public officials keep approving costly new gas plants and data center deals, leaving utility customers to literally pay the price.

But your vote can help change that. Candidates running for state legislature, governor, and federal offices will shape the Southeast's energy policy for years to come. Because they'll help decide:

🏭 How your power gets produced: more expensive fossil fuels, or cheaper clean energy
🤝 How data center deals get done: with public input, or behind closed doors
📈 Who the people approving your rate hikes answer to: you, or the utilities writing the checks

Your bill is on the ballot. Find out where your candidates stand, then make a plan to vote: bit.ly/candidatesonenergy26
