I look forward to continuing my efforts and working with my Republican colleagues to strengthen conservation efforts and protect our environment,” said Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee. At the beginning of the 116th Congress, the RCC was established as a platform for Republicans to promote sensible policies grounded in conservative, market-based principles to our environmental, conservation and clean energy challenges. The RCC pursues right-of-center solutions based on open markets and competition to improve wildlife protection, ensure Americans have access to clean air and water and support the responsible transition to a lower-carbon energy future. The caucus has played a pivotal role in shaping several major pieces of legislation that will help protect and enhance our environment for future generations. The caucus looks forward to building on the momentum from last year that resulted in the passage of the Great American Outdoors Act <[link removed]> , The Energy Act of 2020 <[link removed]> , and Save Our Seas 2.0 <[link removed]> .
