Gas hit five bucks a gallon last week and a central Illinois Congressman says this should be a surprise to no one.

Congressman Rodney Davis says gas prices are what everyone is talking about and it's impacting the budgets of people across the country. This is on top of increasing food prices to feed families and increased prices to keep our homes and workplaces heated and cooled.

Congressman Davis calls it offensive to the people of America that the Biden administration doesn't care about gas prices. He points out this was an issue that the President campaigned on and so no one should be surprised.

Predictions of brownouts have been forecast for Illinois and other parts of the country at points this summer because of a shortage of energy. Congressman Davis says that is something Americans should never have to experience. 

Congressman Davis says if Republicans take back the House later this year, they will provide a backstop for the energy policies of the Biden administration and protect the American people from executive action of government agencies.
