Congressman Al Green (far left) and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (top second from left) are both endorsed by powerful State Rep. Ron Reynolds on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Congressman Al Green has also garnered support from leaders, such as former prizefighter-turned-businessman Eric Carr, who believes that Congressman Al Green is the best Democrat for the job. Already, newly elected Congressman Christian Menefee (bottom left) has betrayed the trust of the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas by not showing up for work on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, and Wednesday, February 25, 2026, as promised.
"IMPORTANT FACTS."
The people of the 18th Congressional district went nearly a year without anyone to represent them in the United States House of Representatives. On Saturday, January 31, 2026, a very small number of registered voters living in the "OLD CD-18" voted to elect Christian Menefee over Amanda Edwards, which was the wrong decision. As a refresher, Christian Menefee received 18,646 votes, for 68.89% of the vote, and Amanda Edwards received 8,434 votes, for 31.14%. However, remember that there were over 423,844 registered voters within the boundaries of the 18th Congressional District of Texas at the time of the runoff election.
"MENEFEE'S BETRAYAL."
Newly elected Congressman Christian Menefee has already broken his promise to fight for the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas. For starters, Congressman Christian Menefee failed to show up for the State of the Union Address, while Congressman Al Green showed himself strong, as he took his fight for "OUR PEOPLE" to the worldwide stage by letting the world know that "BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT APES," and that we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
"MISSING IN ACTION."
So, instead of going to Washington, D.C., to represent the interests of the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas, the newly elected Congressman Christian Menefee failed to show up to represent the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, and Wednesday, February 25, 2026, and missed the "EIGHT VOTES," you see listed below.

This bill modifies the process by which the Department of Energy (DOE) issues or revises energy conservation standards for consumer products such as household appliances, including by requiring DOE to consider additional factors related to the cost and availability of such products.
First, the bill allows DOE to amend an energy conservation standard for a consumer product when needed rather than by a deadline.
The bill also allows DOE to grant a petition to revoke or amend energy conservation standards if the standards (1) result in additional costs to consumers, (2) do not result in significant conservation of energy or water, (3) are not technologically feasible, and (4) result in a product (e.g., gas stoves) not being commercially available in the United States to all consumers.
Additionally, the bill modifies the criteria used to prescribe new or amended energy conservation standards, including by establishing new criteria for determining whether a standard is economically justified.
The bill establishes disclosure requirements for DOE meetings with entities that have (1) ties to China or the Chinese Communist Party; (2) produced studies regarding, or advocated for, regulations or policy to limit, restrict, or ban the use of any type of energy; and (3) applied for or received federal funds.
The bill also prohibits DOE from prescribing new or revised energy conservation standards for distribution transformers.
Finally, the bill allows DOE to prescribe certain new or amended energy and water conservation standards for clothes washers and dishwashers.
MISSED VOTE 76:
H.R.4626 – Congressman Al Green was present on 2/24/2026, and voted “NAY” while Congressman Christian Menefee “DID NOT VOTE,” and was missing in action.

This bill repeals the Department of Energy's (1) high-efficiency electric home rebate program for certain electrification projects in low- or moderate-income households, (2) state-based home energy efficiency contractor training grants, and (3) assistance for states and local governments to adopt specified building energy codes. It also rescinds any unobligated balances available for the rebates or adopting the building energy codes. (The unobligated balances for the contractor training grants were previously rescinded by the 2025 reconciliation act.)
MISSED VOTE 78:
H.R.4758 – Congressman Al Green was present on 2/25/2026, and voted “NAY” while Congressman Christian Menefee “DID NOT VOTE,” and was missing in action.
