Dear John,
 
As of today, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) launched the 2024 National Environmental Scorecard! Check the scores of your Congress members here [[link removed]].

The 2024 National Environmental Scorecard shows that our state’s federal delegation fought back against attacks on our democracy and environmental protections. In stark contrast to most of our state’s members of Congress, for the second year in a row, extreme Republicans in the House of Representatives embraced chaos. They pushed messaging bills and radical amendments on government funding that were so harmful their own leadership pulled them on more than one occasion — resulting in the least productive Congress in recent history.

Most of Oregon’s delegation stood up for our values, voting against cuts to clean energy investments and a House Republican agenda that catered to Big Polluters and corporate interests. Despite intentional gridlock caused by the most extreme members of the House, our senators continued to confirm strong, well-qualified federal judges, more than any other president and Senate in a recent four-year period.

Yet again, both of Oregon’s U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley received perfect scores of 100%. Join us in thanking Senators Wyden and Merkley for their commitment to standing up for our climate by sending them an email [[link removed]] and sharing our post on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram!

Additionally, Oregon’s U.S. Representatives Bonamici, Hoyle, and Salinas also received high scores: 100%, 97%, and 100%, respectively! We want to give a special thanks to Rep. Blumenauer for being an all-star champ with a 95% lifetime score. For his commitment to climate action, he was awarded OLCV’s lifetime achievement award. Join us in celebrating some of our U.S. Representatives by thanking them for being a climate champ [[link removed]]! You can also share our post on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

We’re grateful to have so many pro-environment members of Congress working for our state. However, we do want to mention that Rep. Bentz has an abysmal LCV lifetime score of 4%. It’s time for Rep. Bentz to step up on climate. Take a moment and tell him to do better by sending him a message here [[link removed]].

Make sure you check out LCV’s full 2024 Environmental Scorecard here [[link removed]], and join us in celebrating our climate champs right here in Oregon and asking Rep. Bentz to step up [[link removed]]!

Thank you for being a part of our community!

Sincerely,
Britney VanCitters (she/her)
