In response to the Trump Administration announcing today that it will halt the lease for Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind - the largest offshore wind project in the entire country - which is represented by vulnerable Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggans, who voted earlier this year to roll back commonsense energy tax credits, DCCC spokesperson Eli Cousin issued the following statement:
"JenKiggans and Donald Trump continue to take a wrecking ball to Coastal Virginia's economy. Kiggans cast a decisive vote earlier this year to roll back commonsense energy tax credits, and now Trump is finishing what Kiggans started by officially halting Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind. Kiggans and Trump's reckless actions will jack up electricity bills, eliminate good-paying jobs and economic investment, and undermine energy security in Hampton Roads. Kiggans has put Trump ahead of her own community, and she will be held responsible at the ballot box next November."
Bloomberg News reported in June that Kiggans " flip-flopped on energy credits " after she " cast the deciding vote in favor of the bill despite its blow to wind and solar."
Kiggans has voted with Trump 100% of the time this Congress and has fully enabled the Administration's assault on Virginia's clean energy economy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee posted the following news release:
* * *
Donald Trump Gets His Facts Wrong During Meltdown in North Carolina As He Sees His House Majority Slipping Away
*
In the latest of a series of unhinged ramblings, Donald Trump demonstrated that his memory is still consistently escaping him, forgetting Congressman Don Davis' proven record of showing up and delivering real results for eastern North Carolina at every turn.
While Congressman Davis is focused on real solutions to the problems facing the people of NC-01, Trump has chosento lie to North Carolina's working families about Davis' record because he knows that no one can beat Davis on the merits.
Let's take a trip down memory lane...
Claim #1 : "Don Davis voted against no tax on overtime" / "voted against no tax on tips"
Reality : Congressman Davis has actively supported tax relief for working people - not tax increases. He introduced H.R. 6295, a bill that would permanently end taxes on tips unlike House Republicans' temporary bandaid solution.
Claim #2: "He voted for the largest tax increase in American history"
Reality: The "Big, Ugly Bill" that House Republicans championed would raise costs for working families across the board. Congressman Davis voted against devastating cuts to Medicaid and against closing North Carolina's rural hospitals. Congressman Davis would never support a bill that would strip hundreds of billions of dollars from rural health care and local economies over the next decade.
Claim #3: "He voted yes on every single Biden disasterinflation, open borders, sanctuary cities, Green New Scam"
Reality: Since taking office in January 2023, Congressman Davis has consistently been one of the most bipartisan members of Congress, voting with Republicans on border security and immigration policy 90 percent of the time (28 out of 31 floor votes under a special rule). Congressman Davis was awarded the 2025 Democracy Award for the "Best of Bipartisan Engagement and Collaboration."
Claim #4: "Don Davis did nothing about the flood. He did nothing about the hurricane."
Reality: While House Republicans have dragged their feet and abandoned hurricane victims, Congressman Davis has been committed to helping North Carolina rebuild after Hurricane Helene. The Congressman introduced the FEMA Administrative Reform Act which would speed up the flow of federal aid to the state by cutting through the bureaucratic red-tape that Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imposed on survivors.
Claim #5: "I did it all... with a couple of Republicans from your state."
Reality: Congressman Davis has been a key part of the bipartisan disaster recovery efforts. He introduced the bipartisan Restoring Access to Mountain Homes Act, which allows FEMA to reimburse repairs to private roads and bridges damaged by Hurricane Helene, critical in a region where nearly half of all roads are private and more than 7,000 were damaged. He also co-led bipartisan legislation with Republican Congressman Tim Moore to fix failures in the SBA disaster loan program that delayed aid to Helene-impacted communities. These bills rebuild infrastructure, support small businesses, and hold federal agencies accountable, clear evidence of real, bipartisan action.
Claim #6: "I never even heard of this guy... he hasn't made a big impact."
Reality: Congressman Don Davis has consistently delivered measurable, concrete results for eastern North Carolina. He voted for the National Defense Authorization Act, securing a 3.8% pay raise for servicemembers and major authorizations supporting Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, installations central to the region's economy, military readiness, and national security. He also supported the Senate amendment to H.R. 5371, a bill that extends the National Flood Insurance Program, Community Health Centers, and delivers more than $48 million for projects directly benefiting eastern North Carolina. That is real impact regardless of who claims they've never heard of him.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus :
"Donald Trump is incredibly nervous. Despite his demands that North Carolina undergo a blatantly political gerrymander to subvert the will of voters, he still knows that Congressman Don Davis is a force to be reckoned with. No amount of lying will change what eastern North Carolina voters know to be true - Congressman Don Davis is a fighter and he's fighting for them."

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Dec. 19 -- The Nevada Democratic Party posted the following news release:

Legislators Call On Clark County DA to Investigate Lombardo's Potentially Illegal Cover Up For Musk's Boring Company
*
After Joe Lombardo's administration let Elon Musk's Boring Company get away with major safety violations, State Assemblymembers Cinthia Moore and Venise Karris are calling on the Clark County District Attorney's office to investigate the potential illegal erasure of public records. In an interview with KLAS, Assemblymember Moore called out Lombardo for giving special treatmentto the richest man in the world and "blaming firefighters for getting their skin peeled off."
Within hours of a top Musk executive making a quick call to Lombardo's office, hundreds of thousands of dollars in safety fines disappeared without having to go through the normal OSHA appeals process.
Lombardo's administration tried to cover up this shady backdoor deal with Musk's company, with records of the initial fines and the Governor's office meeting with Boring Company executives being deleted from the OSHA files and refusing to provide an explanation for revoking the citations.
Federal regulators have also opened an investigation into this scandal following Lombardo's failure to respond to "chilling" safety violations including chemical burns, broken bones, and electric shocks.

WATCH : Husted's Big Idea: 'Earn More' Money
Columbus, Ohio Jon Husted's year in the U.S. Senate has been defined by one thing: Ohioans are paying more for everything while he votes to make life even more expensive.
Last week, Husted voted for the ninth time against extending the ACA premium tax credits.
WOSU: More than 500,000 Ohioans evaluating healthcare choices as ACA costs could spike in 2026
* Millions of Americans, including 500,000Ohioans who are buying health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, could see large increases in premiums in their plans starting in the new year. Congress has not yet voted to continue government subsidies for the ACA.
* Brian O'Rourke, Health Policy Institute of Ohio: Some projections from the Urban Institute and others suggest that, you know, over 100,000, up to 140,000 individuals could become uninsured because of these premium increases and the expiration of the enhanced subsidies [...].
* O'Rourke: But the expectation is that a lot of people are going to see those big rate increases of thousands of dollars in some cases, and they're going to decide that they just cannot afford it with their budgets and all the other cost of living constraints that many Ohioans are currently facing related to other life necessities.
Meanwhile, Husted's reckless tariffs are driving up the cost of everything, crushing Ohio farmers, families, and small businesses.
Ohio Capital Journal: Ohio farmers see one-year, 74% loss in Chinese sales due largely to Trump tariffs, report shows
* The report shows Ohio farmers lost nearly $76 million of their exports to China this year compared to one year earlier.
* That's not helpful as Republicans struggle to deal with a national affordability crisis.
* Farmers have faced a double whammy. They've seen many of their costs go up because of the import taxes.
Jon Husted's big idea? Simply " earn more " proving he has no plan to lower costs.
MeidasTouch News: Jon Husted Tells Americans the Solution to the Affordability Crisis is to 'Earn More' :
* MAGA Republican Ohio Senator Jon Husted said in an interview on Fox Business that the solution for Americans struggling with affordability is just to "earn more."
* "Look, there are three ways to make things more affordable: Earn more, keep more of what you earn, and drive down prices," Husted said, "and that's exactly what we're doing in Congress."
* The comments came after Husted cast a vote to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies for the ninth time in the U.S. Senate. The expiration of those subsidies as part of Trump's budget bill will result in insurance premiums increasing for Americans by 100%-150%. ACA subsidies help 583,000 Ohioans afford health insurance.

DECEMBER UPDATE: The Failed Republican Economy Is Crushing Latinos
*
" 7 in 10 Americans say they're barely able to pay their bills"
As we look back on 2025, one thing is clear: Republican policies have devastated hardworking families across the country and voters are souring on them in droves. Polling shows that 36% of Latino voters say they are disappointed or regret electing Trump, with a majority (61%) disapproving of his handling of the economy. The range of factors that havedriven the disappointment include: Trump's extremism and abuse of power, economic pessimism, and higher everyday costs.
It's easy to see why the public is tired of Republican rule. Consumer confidence is at its lowest level since April, health care costs are soaring, and Republicans forced through the widely-hated Big, Ugly Law all of which have made everyday life harder.
Collectively, the low Republican approval rating along with Democrats' recent wins across the country make it evident that the Democratic party is well on its way to take back the House in 2026.
DCCC spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
"Latino voters are demanding real results, while House Republicans have been laser-focused on delivering chaos and cruel policies that have made it harder to get ahead. The writing is on the wall, voters are done with Republicans and will vote for a Democratic majority next November."

DCCC calls out vulnerable Rep. Rob Bresnahan ahead of the holidays for unleashing a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania
The DCCC this week launched a new billboard campaign holding vulnerable Congressman Rob Bresnahan accountable for unleashing a health care crisis on hardworking Pennsylvanians ahead of the holiday season.
Bresnahan cast a key vote for the so-called"Big Beautiful Bill" which included the largest cut to Medicaid in American history to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. Hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health clinics are at-risk of shutting down thanks to these cuts, with some already announcing their closure.
And Bresnahan has failed to prevent skyrocketing health care costs after he voted for a cost-spiking Republican health care 'plan' that fails to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits before they expire on December 31st.
Worse yet, Bresnahan has traded health care related stocks and bonds even as he votes to rip away health care from his own constituents.
See the billboard below:
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin :
"Rob Bresnahan has unleashed a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thanks to Bresnahan, hardworking Pennsylvania families are facing higher prices and reduced access to care - all while he plays the stock market. The DCCC will hold Bresnahan accountable for acting like the grinch and hurting NEPA."
