# **2023 Legislative Report Card**
The grades (and awards) are in!
How did your representatives vote on environmental bills during the 2023 legislative session? Check out our [legislative report card]([link removed]).
We graded each member of the House and Senate based on how they voted on 36 bills related to air quality, clean energy, water conservation, transportation, and homes and buildings.
In true yearbook fashion, we also handed out superlative awards to highlight environmental champions on the Hill and lawmakers who are not voting with their constituents' health and future in mind.
* _MVPs: __Sen. Kirk Cullimore and Rep. Andrew Stoddard_
* _Rising Star: __Rep. Tyler Clancy_
* _Step Forward: __Sen. Nate Blouin_
* _Step Back: __Rep. Quinn Kotter_
* _The Bad MVP (Most Valuable for Polluters): __Rep. Ken Ivory_
The legislative report card grading process provides our community with a clear environmental voting track record of elected officials and a tool to hold them accountable during future elections.
# **Municipal Election Candidate Endorsements**
Electoral involvement is critical as we fight for clean air and a healthy future. The relationships we build during campaigns, and the leaders we ultimately elect, lead to visionary policy and improved environmental outcomes in Utah.
Our first endorsement of the 2023 municipal cycle: **Katie Matheson for Ogden City Council ****At-Large B.**
Katie prioritizes green space and clean air and is the perfect candidate to help lead Ogden into an environmentally-friendly future. [Give Katie a follow]([link removed]) and visit [votematheson.com]([link removed]) to learn more about her campaign.
