Friend ?

What a difference it makes to have a pro-environment majority in the U.S. House of Representatives! After eight long years of climate change deniers running the show in Congress, LCV 2019 National Environmental Scorecard shows that Speaker Pelosi and the new pro-environment majority wasted no time passing legislation to protect our air, water, lands, and wildlife, and to combat the climate crisis.

Not only was this the most pro-environment House in our nation's history, but this was also the most diverse. These leaders are more representative of our country's racial, religious, and gender diversity. They are also innovative leaders who have centered their communities' needs and championed legislation to protect our public lands, our water, and a clean energy economy.

Knowing how our elected officials vote is core to a functioning democracy. That's where the 2019 National Environmental Scorecard comes in ? we tallied the top environmental votes in Congress from the last year so you can know exactly how your senators and representative voted on issues that impact our communities and environment.

Were your members of Congress among those defenders of people and the planet? Text SCORECARD to 877-877 and we'll send your senators' scores directly to your phone. Or check out our newly released 2019 National Environmental Scorecard ? [link removed]

As 2019 was the second hottest year on record, the stakes for our environment and our health have never been higher. But that didn't seem to matter one bit to the Trump administration or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, both of whom continued to cater to polluters at every opportunity throughout 2019. Senator McConnell refused to act on hundreds of important House-passed bills, including many pro-environment measures found in the 2019 National Environmental Scorecard, and instead has let them sit in his ever-growing legislative graveyard.

Despite the challenges, our environmental champions in Congress held their ground and fought back every step of the way to protect our fundamental rights to clean air and safe drinking water.

In the Senate, LCV scored 14 votes that were largely efforts to confirm radical nominees to the federal judiciary and the executive branch. In the House, LCV scored 29 diverse environmental votes to hold the Trump administration accountable in its attempt to roll back environmental safeguards, to clean up toxic PFAS chemical contamination, and to protect our public lands.

To make sure that leaders across the country fight for our health and environment, it's critical that dedicated advocates like us know how they voted on our behalf in the highest levels of government.

To keep this progress going, we must show our elected officials that we are paying attention, and that's exactly what LCV's Scorecard has done since 1970. Continue that now and see how your members of Congress rank.
