- Democrat Rep Josh Riley blasted as ‘hypocrite’ over ties to energy f...
Rep. Josh Riley, D-N.Y., has put criticism of soaring utility costs at the center of his re-election bid in one of the most competitive House districts in the country, but state Sen. Peter Oberacker, R-N.Y., Riley’s likely general election challenger, argues the incumbent Democrat is quietly profiting from the industry.In response to proposed rate hikes from New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG), Riley has accused the company of "robbery" and seeking to "line the pockets" of its Spanish owner, Iberdrola. Recent reporting from Mid-Hudson News found that Riley owns up to $250,000 in mutual funds that hold shares of Iberdrola. The outlet also reported that Riley's campaign received a total of $1,500 from a lobbyist who directly represented Avangrid, Iberdrola's primary U.S. subsidiary, at the time the donations were made.The NYSEG-tied contributions and investment listed on Riley's financial disclosure report were reviewed and verified by Fox News Digital. BIDEN’S GREEN ENERGY FIASCO, NOT TRUMP'S REFORMS, IS JACKING UP YOUR ELECTRIC BILL"I think we could sum it up in one word: hypocrite," Oberacker told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "I don't know any other word that fully encompasses what's going on."Riley’s campaign fired back in a statement to Fox News Digital, calling Oberacker’s attack a "pathetic attempt to distract from the fact that he takes NYSEG’s corporate PAC checks.""The fact is, Josh doesn't own stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and is the only person in this race who’s actually taking on the utility monopolies to lower our bills," the spokesperson said.Avangrid New York PAC has donated $350 to Oberacker since he began serving in the state Senate. However, an Oberacker campaign spokesman said those donations were returned prior to his entering the congressional race.Riley, a first-term Democrat, narrowly won a purple swing district in 2024 that President Donald Trump lost by two points. The president handed Oberacker his "complete and total" endorsement in February.Though Democrats nationwide are seeking to capitalize on voter discontent with rising costs ahead of November’s midterm elections, Oberacker said his campaign is rolling out proposals that are laser-focused on affordability issues.The three-term state senator unveiled a "ratepayer bill of rights" in late 2025 that would require itemized billing and in-person hearings in communities subject to a rate hike, among other provisions.If the legislation is signed into law, "The average person who's looking at these increases in bills could actually say, 'Where's this going?
