| Washington, DC – ConservAmerica President Jeff Kupfer released the following statement today on the announcement of Congressman Buddy Carter (R-GA) as Chair of the Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials Subcommittee: “As a House Energy and Commerce Committee member, and as Roosevelt Conservation Caucus co-chair, Congressman Carter has led the way in addressing our country’s energy and environmental challenges. He is willing to embrace innovative policy solutions and recognizes that a strong economy based on market principles is essential to durable environmental stewardship. We congratulate Congressman Carter on his important new leadership position and look forward to supporting his work as subcommittee chair.” In 2022, ConservAmerica honored Congressman Carter with a Congressional Champion Award, which recognizes members for their commitment to advocating for innovative and commonsense environmental, energy, and conservation policies.
