President Trump is making life more affordable. Josh Riley is doing the opposite.

February 24, 2026

In his State of the Union address, President Trump highlighted the incredible work Republicans have done to lower taxes and costs on American families. Meanwhile, Josh Riley has been doing the opposite. 

Lying Riley says he’s fighting utility rate hikes, but here’s the truth: Riley is in bed with the same radical groups that pushed for the CLCPA, the far-left climate legislation that is hiking costs on New Yorkers by as much as 9.8%.

“As President Trump shows the nation tonight how Republicans have successfully lowered taxes and are continuing to bring down costs, we want to remind New Yorkers that Josh Riley is doing just the opposite. Out of touch Riley is causing utility rates to skyrocket, and Upstate families deserve better.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
