Vote against any funding for the war in Iran. This conflict is driving up costs for families in our district who are already struggling with high prices. Since the war started, gas prices have jumped more than 35 cents per gallon to $3.38 nationally. Oil prices have shot past $90 per barrel, up from $67 before the conflict began. Natural gas prices are also climbing because of supply disruptions from Qatar, which means higher electricity bills for everyone. These increases hit working families the hardest. The war is unpopular. Nearly 60% of Americans disapprove of military action in Iran according to a recent CNN poll. We were promised an end to forever wars, not a new one that makes groceries, gas, and utilities more expensive. With the midterm elections less than eight months away in November, voters will remember who chose to spend billions on another Middle East conflict while families here can't afford basic necessities. I expect you to prioritize affordability for your constituents over funding this reckless military adventure.
