lower our bills

Victorville families are paying more and more just to get by. Housing, electricity, gas, groceries and healthcare have all gotten more expensive.

Local government cannot control every cost, but it should be doing everything it can to make Victorville more affordable.

There are multiple ways our local decisions affect the cost of living.

Our Public Power Doesn't Serve Residents

Victorville already operates its own municipal electric utility. But while businesses and industries can benefit from city-owned power, most Victorville families still rely on Southern California Edison.

We Aren't Using Every Tool We Have

Public power gives cities more local control over how electricity is generated, purchased and priced. Victorville should at least determine whether expanding that infrastructure could lower costs for residents.

Data Centers Could Put More Pressure on Our Resources

Data centers can require enormous amounts of electricity and, depending on their design, water. As companies look for new places to build, Victorville needs to make sure residents aren't left competing with massive corporations for local resources.

Our Plan

STUDY PUBLIC POWER FOR RESIDENTS

We will launch a feasibility study into expanding Victorville's municipal electric utility to residential customers and determine whether public power can lower electricity costs for our families.

PUT A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS

We will push for a moratorium on large-scale data centers while Victorville studies their potential impact on our power grid, water supply, infrastructure and utility costs.

Growth should benefit the people who already live here—not make their bills higher.

MAKE AFFORDABILITY A CITY PRIORITY

Every major development and infrastructure decision should answer one basic question:

Does this make life more or less affordable for Victorville residents?

Local government can't control every bill. But we can use every tool we have to keep costs down.
