Democrats are trying to reverse the GOP narrative that they are vulnerable on rising gas prices. DCCC chair Steve Israel told the Washington Post that Democratic incumbents and candidates are being urged to go on the offensive on the issue. From the Washington Post’s interview with Israel:
“We’ve told our candidates that they should remind people that we’ve actually increased domestic energy production, and talk about solutions-oriented energy policies that would end our catastrophic dependence on foreign oil,” Israel said. “We are urging them to hold House Republicans accountable for consistently protecting oil company subsidies.”
