Arizona Reps. Andy Biggs of Gilbert and Eli Crane of Oro Valley voted with 10 other Republicans and Democrats to block action on bills supporters said would protect Americans’ right to cook with a gas stove.

By Lauren Irwin Cronkite News Conservative Republicans, including two from Arizona, took what was expected to be a routine party-line vote on bills reining in federal bureaucrats and turned it into a referendum on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

“We’ll see if he’s really sincere about wanting to put together, again, a Republican coalition,” Biggs said in a tweeted video. “Let’s protect consumer choice. Let’s save our gas stoves,” Lesko said at a House Republican press conference early Tuesday. She called the efficiency standards another example of “radical, out-of-touch rule” by the department.

Joe Vukovich, an attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Committee, said the regulations on gas stoves aren’t very restrictive. Efficiency regulations have been around for a long time, he said. The Biden administration has also said it is not going after gas stoves, and said the GOP bills would “block common sense efforts to help Americans cut their energy bills.”
