Friends – In 2018 we elected the first and only climate expert
ever elected to the U.S. Congress. Right now, nearly 140 members of
Congress (all Republicans) are outspoken climate deniers who believe
climate change to be a “hoax.”
The ONLY reason we were able to pass the largest climate bill in U.S.
history is because of our pro-climate Democratic majorities in the House
and the Senate.
[ [link removed] ]We’re asking if you’ll give $4 to help us re-elect the only climate
expert in Congress and elect three more environmental and climate experts
running in TOSS-UP House races. If everyone reading this donated $4, we
could reach millions of voters on behalf of these candidates and defend
our pro-climate majority in the House.

[ Sean ]Sean CastenSean Casten (IL-06) – Sean Casten represents Illinois’ 6th
Congressional district and was part of the historic blue wave in 2018 that
flipped control of the House. In doing so, he became the first Democrat in
nearly half a century to win this historically Republican seat, which he
defended by a narrow margin in 2020.
Sean is also the first and only climate expert ever elected to Congress –
and is a leading member of the historic House Climate Crisis Committee.
His experience with crafting private-public partnerships to invest in
green and renewable energy is irreplaceable.
Republicans have labeled defeating Sean a top priority of theirs and this
race, considering its historic Republican lean, will be decided by single
digits.

[ Eric ]Eric SorensenEric Sorensen (IL-17) - Eric Sorensen is a widely
respected meteorologist who has been the go-to weatherman for his area for
more than two decades. If elected, Eric would be the first meteorologist
in Congress and the second-ever climate expert.
At the beginning of his career, Eric was forced to leave his job after his
employer discovered he was gay and therefore in violation of his contract
according to them. Since then, Eric has made it a priority in his life to
advocate on behalf of and fight for vulnerable and marginalized
communities. And just this month, Republicans launched a disgusting
homophobic ad campaign against him arguing that LGBTQ+ individuals are not
fit for public office.
Illinois’ 17th Congressional District is an open Democratic-held seat that
Donald Trump carried in 2020 and Democrats defended by a razor-thin
margin. If we do not defend this seat, Democrats are not expected to
defend our House majority.

[ Jamie ]Jamie McLeod-SkinnerJamie McLeod-Skinner (OR-5) – Jamie McLeod-Skinner
has a background in civil engineering, is an emergency response
coordinator who led regional wildfire recovery efforts in Oregon, and has
a law degree that specializes in natural resource law.
Working and managing teams in refugee resettlement programs and wildlife
recovery efforts has given Jamie the first hand experience protecting
natural resources and tackling the impacts of the climate crisis. She has
managed million dollar aid programs and would be one of the few members of
Congress, if elected, who can speak to the on-the-ground impact climate
change has on local communities.
This is another Democratic-held seat that is split 50-50 between Democrats
and Republicans and, like Eric’s race, has been rated as a TOSS-UP that
will decide control of Congress.

[ Christina ]Christina BohannanChristina Bohannan (IA-01) –Christina Bohannan worked
as an environmental engineer who inspected environmental sites for levels
of contamination before becoming a law professor at the University of
Iowa.
In 2020, Christina ran for local office and defeated a 20-year incumbent
to serve in the Iowa State House. There, she championed legislation to
tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and made key investments in public education.
Now, she’s running against an anti-abortion extremist in a House seat that
Republicans won by just SIX votes in 2020 (yes, just six votes!).
Polling has consistently shown Christina tied with her extreme opponent,
who is considered to be one of the most vulnerable Republicans in America.

[ [link removed] ]Control of Congress could be decided by 4 climate and environmental
experts. That’s why we’re asking if you’ll give as little as $4 so they
win their 4 critical races.
