WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 1, 2018--Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA), a national advocate for families and businesses who rely on safe and affordable energy, is pleased to announce that the CEA Energy Consumer Protection Pledge has passed a new milestone – with 250 local, state and federal candidates now having signed the pledge. CEA’s Consumer Energy Pledge is a way for office holders and candidates to show their support for an all-of-the-above energy policy that protects the environment while benefiting American households and small businesses. CEA believes that with sound energy and environmental policies, decision makers can help all families, especially those living at or below the poverty line, as well as small businesses trying to make payroll, by continuing to create access to affordable and reliable energy.

This non-partisan initiative signed by Democrats, Republicans and candidates from third party groups was introduced by CEA in April 2018. Since then, the number of Pledge signers from across the country has substantially increased. CEA will continue to identify elected officials and candidates – regardless of party affiliation – who recognize that both affordable energy costs and the environment are vital to communities across the nation.

“With a major election season underway, and recent polling showing that 92 percent of the nationsupports a safe, bipartisan policy that promotes American energy self-sufficiency, CEA believes voters have a right to know how their local, state and federal candidates feel about key energy and environmental issues,” said David Holt, President of CEA. “Energy is a non-partisan issue. It impacts every man, woman and child, regardless of political affiliation. By signing the non-partisan Energy Consumer Pledge, candidates of all parties are sending a clear message to their constituents about where they stand on these issues and their commitment to sensible energy and environmental solutions.”
