TEC and electric cooperatives through the U.S. are continually working with local, state and U.S. representatives and senators to ensure affordable energy costs for the future. TEC does not choose particular political parties, but instead works to educate all legislators on the possible effects particular bills can have on their constituents
At times TEC calls on its membership to send correspondence, whether by mail or email, to legislators. These grassroots efforts have been successful in the past in changing components in bills before they become laws.
Keeping electric rates affordable is a big concern of the membership. In past surveys it is one of the number one issues of importance to members and it is why TEC gets involved with the political process. The cooperative works on behalf of the membership to ensure legislation keeps affordability in check.
As issues are presented they will be posted here. If at anytime you would like to know what TEC's stance is on a particular subject or why the cooperative is working to take action against a particular bill, please contact:
