Friend — Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, the fossil fuel industry’s dream candidate, has been announced as Trump’s VP pick.

Like Trump, J.D. Vance’s record is clear: he is an anti-environmental extremist who would gladly turn over our democracy to the fossil fuel industry. We need to pull out all the stops to defeat Trump-Vance and elect pro-environment candidates in November. Our planet’s future is depending on us.

LCV Victory Fund is going big to compete and turn out voters in key swing states, Senate races, and House districts. But how big we can go depends on grassroots supporters like you.

In his short time in the U.S. Senate, Vance has already established a record that only an oil lobbyist could love:
|
|
|
- He has said that fossil fuels aren’t bad for the environment.
- He opposes clean energy and electric vehicles.
- He has praised extreme Supreme Court rulings that have severely weakened the EPA.
- He supports a massive expansion of fracking, the drilling process that is highly toxic to water, landscapes, and wildlife.

That’s not all, Friend. Vance denies the science of climate change and has called solar energy a “fantasy” and wind power “disgusting.” He received a rock-bottom score of ZERO on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard. He repeatedly attacks protections for clean air and water, and the policies that he and Trump support could result in the loss of thousands of clean energy jobs.

We can’t afford to elect leaders who are willing to put Big Oil’s wish list ahead of our health and a safe climate future for all.
