Dear John, How are you? I hope you’re taking time to protect your well-being and your health as we navigate a troubling time in the country’s history.
I’m here to encourage you to remember something important: your commitment to conservation is driving real change in Wisconsin. Thanks to you, we are making strides in protecting our environment, defending democracy, and electing leaders who share our values. Every action – whether it’s attending an event, casting a vote, giving a gift, or spreading the word – moves us forward.
With uncertainty at the federal level and ongoing attacks on environmental protections, state and local action has never been more important. By strengthening pro-conservation and environmental efforts here in Wisconsin, we create a safeguard against harmful policies at every level.
As we face these challenges together, I want you to understand Wisconsin Conservation Voters is here and working as hard as ever to meet this moment through pragmatic, effective ways that we know work. As a collective of people who love Wisconsin, its people, and its places, we are formidable. We are powerful. YOU are powerful.

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released its 2024 National Environmental Scorecard this week, available at scorecard.lcv.org. The scorecard evaluates lawmakers on critical issues like climate change, clean energy, and public health. It reveals a troubling trend of some members supporting harmful policies, with extreme House members pushing anti-environmental amendments and causing gridlock. However, there were bright spots in Wisconsin’s delegation. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Rep. Mark Pocan, and Rep. Gwen Moore stood out for their consistent votes in favor of environmental protections and public health, scoring 100 or nearly 100 percent on key priorities.
Wisconsin’s full delegation’s scores for 2024 are: - Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) - 100 percent
-
Sen. Ron Johnson (R) - 0 percent
- Rep. Bryan Steil (R-1st) - 6 percent
- Rep. Mark Pocan (D-2nd) - 100 percent
- Rep. Derrick Van Orden (D-3rd) - 6 percent
- Rep. Gwen Moore (D-4th) - 97 percent
- Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-5th) - 3 percent
- Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-6th) - 3 percent
-
Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-7th) - 0 percent
- Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-8th) - 0 percent
LCV has been publishing the National Environmental Scorecard since 1970, scoring votes on crucial environmental issues to distinguish which legislators support environmental protection. |
