Today I filled up my truck with gas. $138.75. I hear some f-bombs being hurled on the other side of the pump.
These fuel prices are getting out of hand.
I live in Northern Arizona about 130 miles from my ranch. With fuel prices soaring, I’ve had to think twice about every trip I make to haul supplies out there.
I’m fiscally responsible. I believe in living within your means and making your money work for you. But when a tank of gas and diesel costs this much, enough is enough.
Just a year ago, the diesel average was $3.70 a gallon. Today, it is over $6.05.
The same 25-gallon tank that cost $92 last year now costs more than $160.
That’s money that could put food on the table for my family. It could pay my phone bill. It could stay in my family’s pocket.
Instead, Washington’s war with Iran is making life more expensive for American families.
I expect more from Congressman Eli Crane, and you should too.
Crane has had every chance to end this costly war. Six times, he voted to keep it going, leaving us to pay the price. That isn’t lawmaking, it’s cowardice. And Crane is afraid to stand up for us.
Arizona needs someone willing to say enough is enough when Washington policies make life harder for working families.
Crane has had his chance. It’s time for new leadership.
Jonathan Nez is running for Congress in Arizona’s 2nd District.
