In Michigan, the price of energy is on the ballot and both parties know it
Energy prices in Michigan have risen sharply due to war with Iran and tariffs, influencing voter sentiment in a competitive congressional race. A Democratic voter cites gas costs as a key issue, while Republican support faces challenges as 58% of Michigan voters believe Trump has increased energy prices. Candidates are linking affordability to energy policies, with some voters shifting toward diversifying energy sources.
