U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, who represents Florida’s 14th district in Congress, has used her social media platform to criticize the Trump Administration and highlight rising household costs, particularly those linked to energy consumption.
On January 14, 2026, Castor posted: “It is no surprise that Americans are upset with the Trump Administration.
From higher costs, to militarizing our cities and slashing health care and nutrition assistance to pay for tax breaks for billionaires – the American Dream is being squashed by a man who pretends to put https://t.co/hX4hqcgYsU“.
Later that day, she added: “Corruption in the open does not mitigate its odious nature.
American taxpayers deserve so much better than what President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr are giving them. https://t.co/zYdiwbyknl”.
On January 16, 2026, Castor addressed concerns about energy costs: “Household electric bills are WAY up often driven by the energy needed for AI and data centers. That’s why @RepMikeLevin and I are fighting for hardworking American families to protect them from higher electric bills https://t.co/euzJ3kG2i2”.
Castor has represented Florida’s 14th district since 2007 after succeeding Jim Davis. She previously served in the Florida House of Representatives and holds degrees from Emory University and Florida State University. Born in Miami in 1966, she currently resides in Tampa.
