Subject: Santa Ana City Council: Pass the Utility Affordability Resolution
Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links.
Dear Mayor Amezcua and Santa Ana Councilmembers,
My name is Kerri, and I am urging you to support item #28. My friends are struggling with rising electricity bills that are
forcing us in Irvine and them in Santa Ana,where I grew up,to make impossible choices. In 2025, SCE made a record $5
billion in profit with a $16.6 million raise for their CEO, all while 1 in 5 households are behind on their energy bills by an
average of$833. We need relief now.
The legislation in this resolution would begin to reform California's broken regulatory system by improving utility
accountability, requiring greater transparency, reducing shareholder profits, and ensuring that large new energy users,
such as data centers, pay the full costs of their electricity use.
Thank you for putting community voices first and representing your constituents' needs. Santa Ana residents have been
vocal about the strain rising energy bills are putting on households, and this Council listened. Santa Ana has shown what
real leadership looks like and can send a strong message to Sacramento that utility affordability must be a priority. Santa
Ana residents deserve a more transparent, accountable, and cost-effective energy system.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to seeing Santa Ana approve an affordability resolution on August
4.
Sincerely,
Kerri McCanna
